Wild Tiger Corps

The Wild Tiger Corps (Thai: กองเสือป่า) was a national paramilitary corps founded in Thailand in 1911 by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI). Inspired by the British Volunteer Force, the unit was intended to maintain civil order. The unit drew its Thai name from the scout corps founded by King Naresuan around 1600. The Wild Tiger Corps also included a junior division known as Luk Sua ("Tiger Cubs") based on the Boy Scout movement. The movement was quietly disbanded after the death of King Vajiravudh in 1925.
