On 15 June 2026, at 9:00 AM, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU) held a solemn memorial service for Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendiradebyavati Krom Luang Ratchasarinee Siripatchara Maha Weeraratthida at the main auditorium of Phitthayaphat Building.

The ceremony was presided over by Professor Emeritus Tongthong Chandransu, Chairman of the STOU University Council, and attended by university executives, faculty members, and staff.

During the service, the STOU community expressed their deepest gratitude for Her Royal Highness’s boundless royal benevolence. Throughout her life, the Princess dedicated herself to numerous royal duties and initiatives aimed at fostering the well-being of the public and the nation.

Her notable contributions included her leadership in reforming the judicial system and improving the quality of life for underprivileged groups through the “Kamlangjai” (Inspire) Project. Furthermore, her extensive humanitarian relief work through the “Friends in Need (of “PA”) Volunteers Foundation, Thai Red Cross Society” stands as a testament to her profound compassion for the Thai people.

The university executives, faculty, and staff also gathered to honor the outstanding capabilities and academic achievements of Her Royal Highness, who was one of the university’s most distinguished alumnae.

Princess Bajrakitiyabha graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree of Political Science in International Relations and Comparative Politics, from STOU. She achieved First-Class Honors and received her degree alongside the Golden Tri Sorn Pin (an award for outstanding academic excellence) during the graduation ceremony on 17 January 2001, at Amporn Sathan Throne Hall. This achievement remains a source of ultimate pride and honor for the university. To allow the public to express their condolences, STOU has provided a book of condolence. Faculty, staff, and the general public are invited to sign their names at Parichat Lawn, located at the front of the university campus.
