Biography

Princess Ramphoei was born in 1834 to Siriwong, Prince Mattayaphithak (son of Rama III and Concubine Sap) and Lady Noi (Mom Noi). She was of Mon descent. When her father died at only 27 years, her grandfather—the king—took her and her sister Phannarai to the Grand Palace and they were said to be his favourite grandchildren. In 1853, Ramphoei married her great-uncle Mongkut (who was 30 years her senior) and was raised to a ''Phra Ong Chao'' (a higher rank of princess). In the same year she gave birth to Prince Chulalongkorn. She later became Queen Ramphoei. She had 4 children with King Mongkut. # Prince Chulalongkorn (), later ''King Chulalongkorn'' (1853–1910) # Princess Chandrmondol / Chanthonmonthon (), later ''the Princess Wisutkrasat'' (1855–1863) # Prince
