At dawn on 21 July 2012 Queen Sirikit felt unsteady and staggered while exercising at Siriraj Hospital where King Bhumibol Adulyadej resided. A team of physicians determined after performing magnetic resonance imaging that she had incurred an ischemic stroke.
The Queen has been treated and has refrained from public appearances since, including the grand audience granted by her husband on his 85th Birthday Anniversary from the Ananta Samakhom Hall on 5 December 2012.
