The uniform consists of four pieces: a three-pocket jacket made of handwoven cotton; a white shirt featuring embroidery on the front panel reflecting Thai and Japanese cultural elements; trousers in the same color as the jacket; and a necktie tied in SIRIVANNAVARI’s signature Diamond Knot. 

Designed for more than 900 athletes and team officials, the ensemble presents Thai identity on the Asian stage through a contemporary design.

The uniforms incorporate handwoven indigo-dyed cotton from the Sustainable Village Project, under Her Royal Highness’s royal initiative in Sakon Nakhon Province, as well as handwoven cotton from the SUPPORT Foundation under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother. The design blends elegance with functionality, celebrating Thai craftsmanship and inspiring national pride.

The visit began with Her Royal Highness paying homage to the Phra Buddha Sihing image at the Buddhaisawan Chapel. The Princess then viewed mural paintings, created in the reign of King Rama I, which depict the life of the Buddha. The murals demonstrate the development of traditional Thai mural art, and they have subsequently been restored.

Her Royal Highness proceeded to the Maha Surasinghanat Building to pay homage to a carved stone statue of Ganesha from Candi Singhasari (Central Java), Indonesia, which the Dutch government presented to King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) during his second royal visit to Java.

The Princess also viewed significant antiquities from the Srivijaya period, such as a bronze torso of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, which was discovered in Chaiya District, Surat Thani Province, a bronze Buddha image in the attitude of subduing Mara, also from Surat Thani, and a four-armed statue of the god Vishnu discovered in Takua Pa District, Phang-nga Province.

On the second floor of the Maha Surasinghanat Building, Her Royal Highness viewed artifacts from the Lopburi period, including a 1,000-year-old gilded bronze sculpture believed to depict an ancient monarch, as well as the largest bronze statue of a deity ever discovered in Non Sung District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province.

Afterward, Her Royal Highness visited Issaravinitchai Royal Hall to view the exhibition “Exquisite Siamese Textiles: A Tribute to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother,” showcasing ancient court textiles alongside fabrics from various ethnic groups. The Princess also visited the Royal Chariot Hall to observe the renovation of the Great Victory Royal Chariot (Phra Maha Phichai Ratcharot) and the Phra Wechayanta Royal Chariot (Wechayanta Ratcharot).

On this occasion, Her Royal Highness presented copies of the book “Thai Textiles Trend Book Spring/Summer 2027” to 47 people, comprising members of the Cabinet, executives of the Ministry of Interior and the Community Development Department, and other participants.

Her Royal Highness also delivered a presentation on the topic of "Promoting and Developing the International Image of Thai Textiles for 2026,” and viewed the exhibition of the Thai Textiles Trend Book Spring/Summer 2027.

At 16.45 hr. Her Royal Highness visited the “Legacy” cultural capital fashion exhibition, organized by the Government Public Relations Department (PRD) at Thara Hall and Charoen Nakhon Hall on the M Floor of ICONSIAM.

The exhibition was meant to honor the enduring legacy of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, who laid the foundation for preserving Thai textile heritage. It was also intended to carry forward the royal vision of Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari through the “Legacy: Creative Continuity & Creativity” concept.

Her Royal Highness also viewed “The Walk of Woven Identities” fashion show, featuring the achievements of 10 model communities, which were honored for Thai textile development, elevating local fabrics into modern fashion. The show highlighted the evolution of Thai textiles from local wisdom to creative process and contemporary fashion, reflecting the unique identities of each region of the country.

To mark National Mother’s Day each year, the National Council on Social Welfare of Thailand selects outstanding mothers to receive the “Model Mother” awards. Concurrently, awards are presented to individuals recognized as dutiful children for their exemplary devotion to their mothers.

Originally, Thailand observed 15 April as National Mother’s Day as designated by the Cabinet in 1950. The celebration of National Mother’s Day was later discontinued. For over half a century, with the genuine concern and loving care of a mother, Her Majesty Queen Sirikit steadfastly supported occupational development to uplift and supplement family incomes. In grateful appreciation, the National Council on Social Welfare of Thailand proposed designating Her Majesty’s birthday as National Mother’s Day in 1976. Upon Cabinet approval, the celebration was officially resumed that same year.

The Queen’s motherly love earned her many words of praise, as well as affection and respect from her people. Her Majesty worked side by side with King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great to eliminate difficulties within the Kingdom. Throughout the long period, Her Majesty never complained of weariness but was always happy to be in the midst of people. 

Her Majesty promoted the development of Thai people beyond their imagination. Following in the footsteps of King Bhumibol, Queen Sirikit initiated numerous projects, covering a wide range of areas, such as humanitarian work, Thai arts and culture, education, income generation, and conservation and preservation of biological diversity. 

One example of Her Majesty’s maternal care and devotion to her people was her establishment of the SUPPORT Foundation (Foundation for the Promotion of Supplementary Occupations and Related Techniques). This initiative continues not only to provide supplementary income to farming families but also to preserve traditional Thai handicrafts.

Thai people remember with gratitude the boundless kindness of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, who is revered as a symbol of motherhood and caring.

Since 2022, Her Royal Highness graciously bestowed 18 species and 44 varieties of plants upon the Royal Project Foundation for research study, conservation, and propagation, in order to generate employment and improve the quality of life for people living in the highlands.

The plants have been cultivated experimentally at seven Royal Project sites and are now displayed at the Sirivannavari Botanical Garden in the Royal Agricultural Station Angkhang, Chiang Mai Province, which serves as a conservation and learning center to disseminate knowledge on biodiversity. 

The Royal Project Foundation has developed tomato varieties as its signature identity and selected premium lavender varieties for essential oil production. A golden yellow dragon fruit variety with a sweet flavor, fragrant aroma, and soft edible seeds has also been developed, and it was bestowed with the royal name “Princess Sirivannavari Dragon Fruit.” 

Other plants continually developed by the foundation include, for example, matcha and rose teas, fava and runner beans, butternut pumpkin, green peas, wasabi, vanilla, and artichoke. 

Organized jointly by the Royal Project Foundation, Kasetsart University, and Central Pattana Public Company, the Royal Project 57 fair is meant to honor His Majesty the King, Honorary President of the Royal Project Foundation, and Her Majesty Queen Suthida, in celebration of Her Majesty's fourth-cycle, or 48th birthday, on 3 June 2026. It is held under the theme “The Blooming Legacy of Royal Flora.”

Their Majesties the King and Queen on 1 August presided over the opening of this event, which brings fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs and premium agricultural products from the Royal Project to the CentralWorld Shopping Center. 

Upon arrival at the Royal Jubilee Ballroom, Her Majesty was welcomed by Minister of Social Development and Human Security Nikorn Soemklang, who gave a report on the objectives of organizing the event marking Thai Women’s Day.

As proposed jointly by the Ministry of Interior, the National Council of Women of Thailand, and women’s groups across the country, the Cabinet on 29 July 2003, acknowledged the designation of 1 August each year Thai Women’s Day. The reason is that 1 August usually marks the start of activities carried out to celebrate Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother’s birthday, 12 August. Her Majesty was then asked to grant permission for the observance of Thai Women’s Day to be in her honor on this special occasion.

Later, in 2008, Her Majesty also granted permission for the use of the Cattleya “Queen Sirikit” orchid as the symbol for Thai Women’s Day. A crossbred cattleya, which is well known and loved among orchid lovers, this variety of orchid yields long white blossoms with yellow lips. It is one of the flowers bearing the royal name “Queen Sirikit” of Thailand, by Her Majesty’s royal consent.

In presiding over the opening ceremony of Thai Women’s Day 2026, Queen Suthida also presented pins of honor to outstanding Thai women and certificates to outstanding young Thai women. The Queen also viewed exhibitions, a display of products from the four regions of the country under the “One Tambon, One Product (OTOP) Program, and a bazaar of products from the Foundation for the Promotion of Supplementary Occupations and Related Techniques, or the SUPPORT Foundation.

Her Majesty Queen Suthida has been carrying forward the royal aspirations of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother in folk arts and crafts. Her Majesty also serves as a role model in wearing beautiful Thai silk when performing royal duties. 

In presiding over the opening ceremony of Thai Women’s Day 2019, Her Majesty said, “… I have a firm intention to pay gratitude to the Queen Mother in carrying forward the royal aspirations, following His Majesty the King’s strong determination to treasure and preserve our heritage and build upon the legacy of the Queen Mother…”

The grand reception took place on Wednesday, 29 July 2026, at Santi Maitri Building, Government House. Her Royal Highness arrived at the venue at 18.50 hr and was received by Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul and his spouse.

In his speech of tribute offering best wishes to His Majesty the King, the Prime Minister stated that, on behalf of government officials and Thai people from all walks of life, he was profoundly delighted by Her Royal Highness’s participation in the grand reception organized by the Government to show loyalty and gratitude for His Majesty’s benevolence. 

He said that, throughout the years, Thai people have clearly witnessed His Majesty's firm determination and boundless royal grace, reigning with righteousness. His Majesty has performed numerous duties that have brought immense benefits to the land and has served as the foundation of prosperity, empowering the country to progress and balance itself amid the context of global changes.

His Majesty’s proven flying ability as an aviator has earned him the epithet of “Pilot King,” one who has applied aviation science to contribute to the nation, strengthen national security, and foster friendly international relations. His Majesty has also initiated the “Royal Thai Volunteer Project,” a major royal policy aimed at cultivating self-sacrifice and promoting unity among the Thai people.

The Prime Minister also stated that His Majesty has always been concerned over the well-being of his subjects. Whenever the people suffer from hardships, His Majesty graciously provides assistance to alleviate their distress and boost their morale, enabling them to get through difficult times.

This boundless royal benevolence has spread extensively across the entire kingdom, bringing peace, happiness, and reassurance to all citizens. His Majesty's great virtue will endure with the nation and live on in the hearts of all Thais. 

The Prime Minister invited everyone gathered at the venue to unite their hearts and invoke the supreme power of the Triple Gem, along with all the sacred beings in the universe, to protect and bless His Majesty the King.

He also invited distinguished guests to join in a toast to His Majesty. Following the tribute speech, a cultural show was held in honor of His Majesty the King, followed by a musical performance of “Sadudi Chom Racha” (Hymn to the Great King). 

Also in attendance were Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya, His Royal Highness Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti, and Chaokhun Phra Sineenatha Bilasakalyani.

On this occasion, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Krom Phra Srisavangavadhana, and Her Royal Highness Princess Aditayadornkitikhun welcomed and had an audience with Their Majesties the King and Queen at Amarin Winitchai Throne Hall in the Grand Palace.

Upon arrival at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, His Majesty the King graciously accepted the blessings offered by the Chinese and Vietnamese monks. Inside the main assembly hall, His Majesty the King lit incense and candles in veneration of the Emerald Buddha and past kings.

Then Their Majesties proceeded to Amarin Winitchai Throne Hall, where His Majesty the King received the homage of those in attendance. His Majesty graciously allowed the Royal Scribe to read the Royal Command elevating senior monks to the rank of Somdet Phra Racha Khana.

The King presented golden plaques, ecclesiastical fans, saffron robes, and the insignia of ecclesiastical rank to the newly appointed Somdet Phra Racha Khana. His Majesty also lit incense and candles to worship the Buddha image representing the birthday of King Rama IX.

The congregation of 75 monks chanted blessings on the occasion of His Majesty the King’s birthday.

The grand reception will take place at Santi Maitri Building, Government House, on Wednesday, 29 July 2026, at 19.00 hr. On this occasion, His Majesty the King has assigned Her Royal Highness Princess Maja Chakri Sirindhorn to attend this event.

Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvurakul will deliver a speech of tribute offering best wishes to His Majesty the King and will also invite distinguished guests to join in a toast to His Majesty. Later, a cultural performance will be staged in honor of His Majesty on this auspicious occasion.

This event will be televised by the Television Pool of Thailand and broadcast live on Radio Thailand under the Government Public Relations Department, from 18.50 hr onward.

Government Spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek said that the Presidents of the National Assembly, Supreme Court, and Senate, as well as Cabinet members, military commanders, senior police officers, civil servants, and representatives of the private sector gathered at Sanam Luang ceremonial site on 28 July 2026 at 07.30 hr in an oath-taking ceremony to pledge themselves as good workers of the land, a united force of the nation.

The event was presided over by the Prime Minister, who expressed his gratitude for His Majesty’s dedication to the nation's prosperity and the well-being of the Thai people.

The oath-taking ceremony on the occasion of His Majesty the King’s birthday is organized each year by the Office of the Civil Service Commission, which also encourages state agencies nationwide to hold similar ceremonies at their offices to show their loyalty to His Majesty the King.

His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua (Rama X) was born in Bangkok on 28 July 1952. His Majesty was the only son, the second of four children, of King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great (Rama IX) and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother.

His Majesty the King ascended the throne as King Rama X of the Royal House of Chakri, succeeding the late King Rama IX, who passed away on 13 October 2016. During the royal coronation ceremony of King Rama X in the Grand Palace, the King presented the First Royal Command: "We shall treasure, preserve, and build on our heritage and shall reign in righteousness for the great enduring good of the people.”

Since the start of his reign, His Majesty has carried forward his leadership as the pillar of the Thai nation for the happiness of the people, following the footsteps of his Royal Parents in easing the people’s problems and improving their well-being.

His Majesty recognizes the importance of restoring ancient canals that were once degraded and encroached upon, such as the canals around the Rattanakosin Island in Bangkok's old city, Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem, and Khlong Prem Prachakhon. These canals have been transformed from polluted ditches into clean, vibrant public spaces, pedestrian walkways, and eco-friendly transport routes.

In honor of His Majesty the King on the occasion of his birthday this year, the public and private sectors are organizing jointly the event “River of Life: Preserving Rattanakosin Heritage under Royal Benevolence,” scheduled for 24-31 July at Mahakan Fort Park on Maha Chai Road in Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok. The event features many cultural activities, such as music performances, cultural shows, and street art.

Members of the public have been encouraged to unite their hearts as one and show their loyalty and gratitude to His Majesty the King on this special occasion.
