Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana (Thai: สมเด็จพระนางเจ้าสุทิดา พัชรสุธาพิมลลักษณ พระบรมราชินี, RTGS: Suthida Phatcharasuthaphimonlak, pronounced [sùʔ.tʰíʔ.dāː pʰát.ɕʰā.ráʔ.sùʔ.tʰāː.pʰíʔ.mōn.lák] ⓘ), born Suthida Tidjai (Thai: สุทิดา ติดใจ; 3 June 1978),[3] is Queen of Thailand as the fourth wife of King Vajiralongkorn. Before their marriage, she was a flight attendant. After joining the Thai military, she was promoted to King's bodyguard.[4]

Early life and education

[edit]

Suthida was born on 3 June 1978 to the Tidjai family, Kham (father) and Jangheang (mother). She is ethnically Hokkien, coming from a Thai Chinese family. She graduated from Hatyaiwittayalai Somboonkulkanya Middle School and Assumption University with a bachelor's degree in communication arts in 2000.[3] Suthida was formerly a flight attendant for JALways – a Japan Airlines' subsidiary – from 2000 to 2003 and later Thai Airways International in 2003 until 2008.[5][6]

Military service

[edit]

Suthida was appointed commander of Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn's household guard, Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters in August 2014. In October 2016, international media reports labeled her as the designated king's "consort", despite the palace never officially declaring their relationship.[7][8]

On 1 December 2016, she was appointed Commander of the Special Operations Unit of the Royal Security Command and promoted to the rank of general.[9][10] She reached her present rank after only six years of service. She has successfully completed several military training courses.[11]

On 1 June 2017, she was appointed as acting commander of Royal Thai Aide-de-camp Department following the reorganization of the Royal Security Command.

On 13 October 2017, she was named a Dame Grand Cross (First Class) of The Most Illustrious Order of Chula Chom Klao,[12] which bestows the title Than Phu Ying (Thai: ท่านผู้หญิง). She is the first female officer to receive this honour since 2004 and the first in the reign of King Rama X.
