Her Serene Highness Princess Svasti Vadhanodom Pravitra, born in Bangkok, Thailand, was an accomplished novelist in Thailand under the pseudonym "Duang Dao." Many of her novels have been made into films or soap operas for television. It is assumed that many novels were based on her life, or the people closed to her, especially in the Royal circle. The princess received the Narathip Award for writers in 2001. She passed away on 1 September 2001 at the age of 90 years. She never married, but was said to be close to His Serene Highness Prince Aakars Damkerng Rabibadhana, son of His Royal Highness Prince Rabi Badhanasakdi, Prince of Rajaburi. The prince did ask for the princess' hands in marriage, but she rejected his proposal. The prince was also a celebrated author using the pseudonym of "Voraseth," and did not marry anyone else.
