As the wife of the longest reigning monarch in the world, His Majesty King Bhumibol (Rama the IX), Her Majesty Queen Sirikit is also the world’s longest reigning royal consort, having presided over the Kingdom of Thailand in her royal role for over 6o years.
While Mother’s Day is held dear in many cultures throughout the world, Mother’s Day in Thailand is doubly special. Celebrated on the Queen’s birthday, August 12th, the holiday rings forth with pageantry, emotion and beauty.
