Event Summary

Thailand's Princess Bajrakitiyabha, the eldest child of King Vajiralongkorn, has died at the age of 47. She passed away on Thursday evening at a Bangkok hospital after being unconscious for three years due to a mycoplasma infection. The Thailand — Bureau of the Royal Household confirmed her death on Friday. Princess Bajrakitiyabha was known for her extensive work in justice reform, particularly her 'Kamlangjai' project aimed at rehabilitating incarcerated Thai women. She also had a distinguished diplomatic career, serving as Thailand's ambassador to Austria and as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Her efforts led to the adoption of the 'Bangkok Rules' by the United Nations General Assembly, focusing on the care and conditions for female prisoners. Her death may influence the future royal succession, as Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti is the presumptive heir.
