Princess Bajrakitiyabha Parents: Meet Maha Vajiralongkorn, and Soamsawali – After relocating to England, Princess Bajrakitiyabha attended Heathfield School in Ascot to start her secondary education before completing it at Chitralada School.
In 2000, Princess Bajrakitiyabha earned a B.A. in International Relations from Sukhothai Thammatirat University and an LL.B. from Thammasat University.
She then earned a J.S.D. from Cornell University in 2005 and an LL.M. from Cornell Law School in 2002. She was awarded an honorary LL.D. by the IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law on May 12, 2012.
On completion of her doctorate Princess Bajrakitiyabha worked briefly at the Thai Permanent Mission to the United Nations, in New York, before returning to Thailand.
She was appointed an attorney in the Bangkok attorney general’s office in September 2006 before being transferred to the Udon Thani province attorney general’s office.
She served as the Thai ambassador to Austria from 2012 to 2014 before returning to her position at the Attorney General’s Office.
The princess played a crucial role in pressuring the Thai government to submit a resolution outlining the vulnerability of women imprisoned in a system primarily designed for men to the UN Economic and Social Council’s Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.
Her work helped the UN adopt the “Bangkok Rules,” the first set of global standards addressing how women are treated in the justice system.
The “Kamlangjai” or “Inspire” project, run by Bajrakitiyabha, reaches out to imprisoned Thai women, including pregnant inmates and their infants. Its goal is to ensure that female and pregnant inmates receive sufficient support to help them get ready to reintegrate into society after their release.
The Princess had been admitted to the hospital after collapsing while walking her dogs, according to a statement released by the Bureau of the Royal Household in December 2022.
The palace acknowledged that a heart condition was to blame. After being taken to Pakchongnana Hospital, the princess was later taken to King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. According to reports, she was preparing her dogs for the Royal Thai Army’s Thailand Working Dog Championship in 2022.
