Ratirod is kept busy, but good use of technology and natural organisational skills help her to stay on top of her workload. “That and a lot of overtime,” she laughs. “It’s not uncommon for me to be working late into the evening, but I don’t mind because I enjoy interacting with great people who know the value of teamwork.”
It has been a year since Ratirod married fellow Chitralada student Ruj Chulajata. Their nuptials at the Siam Kempinski were certainly a glamorous affair—not many brides can boast of having royalty present at their wedding, let alone a princess as their maid of honour.
“HRH Princess Sirivannavari is one of my oldest friends,” she says. “We’ve known each other since our earliest school days. Today, she is also one of my role models in life.”
Also known as Fon to those closest to her, Ratirod’s innate poise and refined demeanour belie an adventurous streak and a love of travel, which she shares with Ruj. “I knew when we married I’d have to up my game so to speak, because my husband comes from a sporty family,” she laughs. One of their recent trips involved jungle trekking and river tubing in Vang Vieng, Laos. Indulging her love for history, the likable young lady also makes a point of touring museums in the different cities she visits, and when her schedule permits she enjoys playing the piano, yoga, golf and even hip-hop dancing.
