This ceremony made Vajiralongkorn the first Thai king to accept a concubine after the constitution of the monarchy, and it broke the "monogamy" of the royal family for 87 years.
According to BBC reports, Sinina worked as a nurse at the Thai Military Hospital in the early days, and later joined the Royal Guard as a major general.

It is reported that Thai king Vajiralongkorn has recently spent time with Sinina in a resort town in Germany, while Queen Suthida lives alone in Switzerland without a husband. Hotel Waldegg. However, King Thai’s private life has always been controversial. He has been recognized as a playboy since the time of the prince. Therefore, from members of the royal family to the general public, there have been criticisms of him with poor perception. Now it is only three months after the canonization of the queen. Concubine the harem, also let his romantic history add another stroke.
Although Thailand enacted legislation to ban polygamy in 1935, the local folk customs still acquiesced in the existence of polygamy, and believed that as long as a man had the ability to support his family, it was enough. However, the royal family did not have concubines since 1932. Except for the unmarried King Rama VIII, the four Thai kings are all monogamous. The former Thai King Phu Meh Phong is famous for his love. Therefore, Vajiralongkorn's move to canonize the queen and accept concubines in the short term will be possible. Leading to the occurrence of "gong fights" in the future.
