Thailand’s Queen Mother Sirikit, who was known for her initiatives to aid rural communities, preserve traditional crafts, and protect the environment, passed away at 93 on Friday in a Bangkok hospital. She had been hospitalized since October 17 due to a blood infection that did not respond to treatment. Although less prominent than her late husband King Bhumibol Adulyadej and her son King Maha Vajiralongkorn, Sirikit was influential and beloved; her portrait adorned many public spaces in Thailand, and her birthday was celebrated as Mother’s Day. Her work included assisting Cambodian refugees and conserving the country's forests.
