Mom Luang Piyapas Bhirombhakdi (Thai: หม่อมหลวงปิยาภัสร์ ภิรมย์ภักดี RTGS: Piyaphat Phiromphakdi, née Kridakorn กฤดากร RTGS: Kridakon; born 8 May 1962) is a Thai actress, primarily known for playing Queen Suriyothai in the 2001 movie The Legend of Suriyothai.
Piyapas is a great-granddaughter of Prince Nares Varariddhi, who was a son of King Mongkut. This distant royal descent is reflected by her title Mom Luang. Her father, M. R. Yongsawat Kridakorn, was a deputy director of the Crown Property Bureau. Her mother, Wiyada Kridakorn Na Ayudhya, was a lady-in-waiting to Queen Sirikit. Her nickname is "Khun Ton" (คุณต้น).[1][2]
Piyapas went to Chulalongkorn University demonstration school and Chitralada School (the school attended by children of the Thai royal family). She completed a bachelor's degree in history from the Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University. She married Chutinant Bhirombhakdi, one of the heirs to the Boon Rawd Brewery fortune and executive vice-president of the Singha Corporation. They have two daughters and a son. Their eldest daughter is Chitpas Kridakorn, politician of the Democrat Party who has been a member of the Thai House of Representatives since 2019.
