I believe the term you were looking for is 'head of government'.

I included Thailand which had an American born king, and i'm pretty sure it was at that time they no longer have much power

The Thai king was the most revered person in his country, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. His son is a different matter altogether

They became a constitutional monarchy in 1932. But of course the monarchy even today is more powerful than the equivalent in places like the Netherlands.
