On 24 October 2025, Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother of Thailand, passed away. Her life was one of profound service, cultural leadership and national unity. Below are seven of her most magnificent contributions to Thailand, each reflecting a different facet of her enduring legacy.
01 Champion of Rural Development
