Early Life & Education

Suthida Tidjai was born on June 3, 1978, in Hat Yai, Thailand. Her parents, Kham and Jangheang Tidjai, raised her in a Thai-Chinese family.

Little is known about her siblings, as her family kept a private life. Suthida’s early years were marked by a sense of duty and a love for learning, which led her to a career that blended service and discipline, always carrying her hometown’s spirit with her.

Suthida studied at Hatyaiwittayalai Somboonkulkanya Middle School in her hometown, where she was a bright student.

She later attended Assumption University in Bangkok, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts in 2000.

Career

Suthida began her career as a flight attendant, working for JALways (a Japan Airlines subsidiary) from 2000 to 2003 and then for Thai Airways from 2003 to 2008, where she met the then-Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn on a flight.

In 2010, she joined the Royal Thai Army as a second lieutenant, demonstrating her dedication to serving her country.

She quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a general in 2016 and commander of the Crown Prince’s household guard, the Ratchawanlop Guards, in 2014.

She also served as Deputy Commander of the Royal Security Command and Commander of the Special Operations Unit of the King’s Guard.

Her military training included courses in jungle warfare, airborne operations, and pistol marksmanship, reflecting her strength and dedication.

On May 1, 2019, she married King Vajiralongkorn and was named Queen Suthida, crowned during his coronation on May 4, 2019.

As queen, she promotes Thai silk and crafts through the Queen Sirikit’s SUPPORT Foundation, travels with the king to events such as the Royal Ploughing Ceremony, and supports local communities, always showcasing Thailand’s beauty and traditions.

Social Media

Queen Suthida keeps a private profile due to Thailand’s lèse-majesté laws, which limit public discussion of the royal family.

Personal Life

Queen Suthida, 47, married King Maha Vajiralongkorn on May 1, 2019, at Amphorn Sathan Residential Hall in Bangkok, just days before his coronation.

During the traditional ceremony, she wore a pink Thai silk dress and offered the king flowers and incense, a moment broadcast on Thai television.

The wedding, witnessed by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda, marked her rise to queen.

Suthida’s height is 162 cm, and she carries herself with elegance, often wearing Thai silk to honor her country’s heritage.

She has no children, but she supports her husband’s son, Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti (from his marriage to Srirasmi Suwadee), in royal events.

Net Worth

Queen Suthida’s net worth is not publicly disclosed, as is typical for Thai royals. Estimates suggest it could be in the millions, based on her royal status, military career, and possible allowances from the Crown Property Bureau.

Her wealth is likely tied to her role as queen and her past work as a flight attendant and general, but her focus remains on serving Thailand, not personal gain.
