Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha passed away at the age of 47 on 11 June 2026 at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, after spending more than three years in a coma. Born on 7 December 1978, Princess Bajrakitiyabha, widely known as Princess Bha, was the eldest child and first daughter of King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Princess Soamsawali.
Princess Bajrakitiyabha was hospitalized in December 2022 after falling unconscious while training dogs for an army exhibition. The palace said that she had developed a mycoplasma infection, a bacterial infection usually associated with pneumonia. The Princess was connected to medical equipment to maintain her lung and kidney functions.
Princess Bajrakitiyabha was born on 7 December 1978 at Dusit Palace in Bangkok. She attended the all-girls Rajini School during her elementary and junior high school years. She later earned an LL.B. degree from Thammasat University. On 12 May 2012, she was awarded an honorary LL.D. degree from IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law.
Princess Bajrakitiyabha initiated the Kamlangjai, or Inspire, Project to improve the quality of life of women prisoners in Thailand, including pregnant inmates and mothers with young children, and to support their reintegration into society after release.
Princess Bajrakitiyabha also served as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Regional Goodwill Ambassador on the Rule of Law for Southeast Asia and as Chairperson of the Special Advisory Board of the Thailand Institute of Justice.
Although the King has not officially named an heir, Princess Bajrakitiyabha was widely considered by observers of the Thai monarchy to be the most suitable candidate due to her family background and public standing.
i did not know her before this, but such a shame she seemed like a great heiress/ambassodor for Thailand.
ردحذفSame for me and after reading about her education and passion for helping others, it makes this story even more sad for the family and country.
حذفThis is so very sad. I knew for a long time that she was in a coma, and had recently deteriorated. She was such a clever, beautiful, and accomplished woman. Now there is a question mark over who will succeed the king. A great loss.
ردحذفA young woman losing her life is very sad.
ردحذفI know this is a fashion blog and not a professional news site but, you kind of buried the lead. You say she was in a coma for more than three years. WHY?! You covered pretty much everything else about her life but that.
ردحذفI know I'm old, and the school systems have changed over the years, but when I was in journalism classes in high school and college we were taught that you must cover "the five 'W's" for every story you write; Who, what, when, where, and WHY. Leave out any one of those and your report is incomplete. And if you don't know, or don’t have, the answer to any one of those 'W's you need to state that so that the reader will at least know you didn't overlook it due to incompetence.
At 17.00 and you are not able to do your own simple Google search?? These writers/authors do not owe you anything, you realise that, right?
حذفLB
17:00 that’s such an unfair assessment of the blog owner! The information you seek is instantly available with a good internet search. Go find it. It’s horrible to even mention the word incompetence on a private blog that kindly allows you to visit and comment.
حذفDid Anon 17:00 not read the comments? It is explained there well enough what happened to this unfortunate Princess.
حذفAs for fashion, from what I saw is I think this Lady was a very stylish and elegant dresser . So sad what happened to her.
AI to rescue of an incomplete story:
ردحذف"Princess Bajrakitiyabha of Thailand fell into a coma in December 2022 due to a severely irregular heartbeat, which doctors attributed to a mycoplasma bacterial infection in her heart.The medical emergency initially happened when she suddenly lost consciousness while training her dogs for an army exhibition. After remaining on life support for approximately three and a half years, her condition ultimately worsened in April 2026 due to an intra-abdominal infection, severe colitis, blood clotting disorders, and heart rhythm complications. She passed away in June 2026."
Thanks for the info!
حذفThanks for the helpful clarification.
حذفShe always dressed impeccably, stylish, in complimentary colours. I particularly like the blue dress with the pearl earrings. Her clothes were probably custom made for her, always elegant with being haute couture.
ردحذفMay she RIP. She seems to have been a down-to-earth person. It is always sad when a parent loses a child no matter how old the child is.

So young, incredibly sad. RIP
ردحذفOn ne peut ressentir que de la tristesse pour le départ de cette belle jeune femme dont les photos nous montrent son élégance ; qu’elle repose en paix !
ردحذفVery sad. Beautiful and accomplished woman. I hate to say it, but the circumstances surrounding her death are very strange and it's very interesting that this leaves a bit of a succession crisis.
ردحذفAfter the passing of Queen Sirikit, the current king's mother, last October (for whom the nation and the family still observes an extended mourning period), now sad news again from the Thai Royal Family. I hear that the king has ordered a top level state funeral. Already today, people clad in black have lined the streets to watch the body of the Princess being transferred from the hospital where she died to her lying in state in a hall within the Royal Palaces Bangkok.
