For more than six decades, Her Majesty was a steadfast companion to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, serving as a guiding maternal figure to the Thai people. Her lifelong devotion to public welfare, education, and cultural preservation remains one of the most enduring legacies of the modern Thai monarchy.
