  • The State Funeral of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana Kroma Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra
    The State Funeral of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana Kroma Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra 2 January 2008 Her Royal Highness the Princess Galyani Vadhana, Princess of Naradhiwas was admitted into the Siriraj Hospital in June 2007 for cancer treatment. While she was at the hospital, she still attended functions once in a while, until October when the Royal Household Bureau first announced an update on the Princess' health on 25 October 2007. Since then her health had deteriorated, and the public became worried. The bad news came on the morning of 2 January 2008, when the Thai people tuned on their TVs and radios to hear the morning news and found out that the Princess had passed away at 2.54am that day. Although many had sort of expected this bad news since her health was at a point where the doctors could not do anything anymore, it was still a shock that the beloved Princess has finally departed the world. The picture of His Majesty leaving the hospital after his sister has died, which was printed in all the newspapers the next day, prety much summed up how he felt, as well as how the Thai people felt. His Majesty has accorded the highest honour for his only sister, and arranged for her bathing rites to take place at the Piman Rataya Throne Hall, follow by the lying in state at the Dusit Maha Prasart Throne Hall in the Grand Palace, the same practice as past Kings and senior members of the Royal Family, which included HM Queen Sri Bajarindra, King Rama VIII, and more recently HM Queen Rambai Barni in 1984 and HRH the Princess Sri Nagarindra, the Princess Mother in 1995.

  • Royal Roots of Simmons : the Princess Mother of Thailand
    Royal roots of Simmons : the Princess Mother of Thailand Royal roots of Simmons: the Princess Mother of Thailand simmonsvoice / October 19, 2016 By Ellen Garnett Staff Writer Last week, the King of Thailand, Bhumibol Adulyadej, passed away after his 70-year reign. Simmons College joins Thailand in mourning the loss of King Adulyadej, whose mother was an alumna of Simmons. The Princess Mother of Thailand studied healthcare, nutrition, chemistry, and childcare between 1921 and 1927. Although she never graduated from Simmons, Princess Srinagarindra née Sangwan Talapat received an Honorary Degree from Simmons in 1989 for her humanitarian work in Thailand, which focused on improving access to education and health care. She is especially known for having established the Flying Doctors Foundation, an organization that provided medical services to remote villages by helicopter. According to the Simmons College Archives, this was the only honorary degree that the Princess Mother ever accepted. Before she was the Princess Mother, Sangwan Talapat was a commoner. She came to the U.S. in 1918 after finishing nursing school in Siam (later renamed Thailand) at the age of 17.

  • Thai Royal Burial Sites by Scott Mehl
    Thai Royal Burial Sites by Scott Mehl House of Chakri (1782-present) The funeral and cremation rituals of the Thai royals are perhaps some of the most spectacular displays. Steeped in tradition and driven by their Buddhist beliefs, the ceremonies take place over six days, usually months after the actual death. The primary reason for the delay is the amount of work involved in building and creating the ceremonial funeral pyre, on which the remains are cremated. These ceremonies take place on the Sanam Luang, a large open field and park, just north of the Grand Palace complex. Once the cremation ceremonies are finished, the ashes are taken to the Grand Palace briefly, before being enshrined within a Buddhist temple. The Kings are traditionally enshrined in the base of a Buddha statue within one of the temples. The ashes of other members of the royal family are typical housed in smaller memorials or monuments at the Royal Cemetery at Wat Ratchabophit. The most recent burial was that of Princess Bejaratana, held in April 2012. For detailed information about the traditions and details about the royal cremation, I suggest the following links: Ancient Traditions for Royal Cremations Royal Cremation Ceremony of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana Royal Cemetery Royal Cemetery Rama I King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke reigned April 6 1782 – September 7 1809 King Rama I was born March 20 1736, in the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. He was a prominent military leader under King Taksin, and this enabled him to crown himself the first King of Siam (now Thailand) in 1782, establishing the Chakri Dynasty which remains on the throne today.
