Niramon Ounprom (Thai: นิรมล อุ่นพรม, RTGS: Niramon Unphrom; nicknamed Koi; Thai: ก้อย,[2] born 26 January 1985[3][4]) is an army officer, member of the Thai royal court, and a former Thai nurse.[5] She was named concubine and a long-time mistress of Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn of Thailand, who granted her several military ranks and positions, including the noble name of Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi (Thai: สินีนาฏ วงศ์วชิราภักดิ์; RTGS: Sininat Wongwachiraphak). After Prince Vajiralongkorn ascended the throne as King Rama X, he appointed her as his Royal Noble Consort, giving her the noble title of Chao Khun Phra (เจ้าคุณพระ, "royal noble consort") Sineenat Bilaskalayani (Thai: สินีนาฏ พิลาสกัลยาณี; RTGS: Sininat Philatkanlayani) in July 2019.[6] She is the first woman to hold the title of a royal concubine of the King of Thailand in almost a century as the previous monarch was monogamous.[7]
