She studied law at Thammasat University before earning a master’s degree in law from Cornell University in the United States. She later worked as a public prosecutor and became one of the most prominent and influential members of the Thai royal family.
In recognition of her efforts in promoting justice and human rights, she was appointed a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in 2017.
