It's more than just pronunciation; it's a very sensitive matter speaking about royalty -- even dead royalty -- in Thai. You really should not attempt it unless you really know what you're doing.
The correct way of referring to the statue of King Taksin, by the way, would be "roop pan somdej prachao Taksin maharat". And for God's sake don't pronounce Taksin like Thaksin Shinawatra.
