She was very powerful, and was widely acknowledged to have had greater authority than her husband, Inthawichayanon, the seventh monarch of Chiang Mai.[1]

Biography

Thip Keson was the eldest child of Kawilorot Suriyawong, the sixth monarch of Chiang Mai and his wife Usa. Her sister, Princess Ubon Wanna, was prominent in trading in Chiang Mai.[3]

She married Inthawichayanon, who was her second cousin. When Kawilorot died in 1873, Inthawichayanon succeeded him as King of Chiang Mai. During his reign, Thip Keson and Bunthawong, the Viceroy, had more authority than Inthawichayanon.[1] Thip Keson and Inthawichayanon had two daughters, Princess Chanthra Sopha and Princess Dara Rasmi of Chiang Mai.[4] After Chanthra Sopha died at the age of five, Princess Dara Rasmi was elevated to Princess consort of Chulalongkorn, King Rama V of Siam.[2][4]

Thip Keson died in 1884, at the age of 43.[1][4]
