She also an expert in Sanskrit as she can read and understand Vedas, the holy text of Hinduism (the original version not the translate one). since she understands Sanskrit, she ables to read ancient burmese and Laos.
Admittedly HRH is a linguistic princess.

Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn will contribute the first Royal blog on a British Council website.

The blog - or Web log - will discuss Her Royal Highness' views about the teaching and learning of English in Thailand.
Visitors to the site will be able to post comments and messages. Her Royal Highness presided over a forum yesterday developing strategies to address long-term language-education needs in Thailand.
Called "Future Perfect: English-language policy for global transition", it attracted more than 400 language professionals and policy makers from all over Southeast Asia.
Organised by the council and the Education Ministry, it ex-plored key developments re-quired for Thailand to success-fully develop critical language skills in the next quarter century.
It mapped out an 18-month research project to develop a long-term language strategy.

The first royal blog by HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is now available on the British Council website.

The princess's views about the teaching and learning of English in Thailand is a part of the blog called Future Perfect Conference held by British Council earlier this week to develop strategies to address longterm languageeducation needs in Thailand.

HRH Princess Sirindhorn writes: "We have witnessed in this past century that English has become a global language without much understanding of the process. Nor can we say that we really know the extent of its influence and status as the global language. But, we can be sure of one thing: English can be used as a key to better understanding. As English is used and understood globally, we should be able to communicate, learn and understand each other better. Through English, then, we can make this world more knowledgeable and more understanding."
