As a c.hild, Sirikit attended Rajini School and then St Francis Xavier Convent School in Thailand until the age of 13. After that, she followed her father, who was the ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand, to London, United Kingdom, in 1948, she continued to follow her father to Paris, France.

In the city called love, with a poetic, sweet and romantic life, Sirikit met the b.oy Bhumibol Adulyadej who was studying Law and Political Science in Switzerland and often went to France for summer vacation.

Few people know that the revered king of the Thai people, Bhumibol Adulyadej, was once hated by his future wife. Queen Sirikit Kitiyakara shared: "I hated him from the first time I met him. He made an appointment until 4 p.m., but he didn't come until 7 p.m., making me wait and practice rituals. So I hated him from the first time I met him. Firstly".

Queen Sirikit is the daughter of the Thai Ambassador to France, she met her husband in his own home when the King came to France to spend the summer vacation while studying in Switzerland. Perhaps, the freshness and carefreeness of the teenager Sirikit made the young man's soul with royal b.lood vibrate from the very first meeting. But in his heart, the King was still afraid, so he hid his feelings until a traffic accident struck, causing him to lose sight in his right eye and had to be hospitalized for a period of time.

When Bhumibol was involved in a traffic accident in Switzerland and was hospitalized, Sirikit was the one to visit regularly. It was at this moment, when his body was tired, alone facing the four cold walls of the hospital room, that the King could think more about his feelings, and he knew that Sirikit was the g.irl.

As soon as he woke up from a coma, the King of Thailand took a picture of Sirikit from his wallet, held it tightly and put it right at his heart. "I don't even know when he got his picture. Soon after, the king expressed his love to me. At that moment, I had only one thought, that I wanted to live. next to the person I love. Things like becoming a queen or how to fulfill the duties of an empress, I didn't think about it."
