Her Majesty initiated numerous development and conservation projects, including the SUPPORT Foundation to preserve Thai arts and crafts, the “Pa Rak Nam” (Forest Loves Water) Project, and the “Ban Lek Nai Pa Yai” (Small House in a Big Forest) Project. These initiatives have had a lasting impact on environmental preservation and sustainable community development across Thailand.
Her Majesty’s compassion, generosity, and unwavering commitment to the people continue to be deeply cherished throughout the Kingdom.
Following the ceremony, attendees signed a condolence book to pay their respects and to commemorate Her Majesty’s enduring contributions to Thailand and its people.
