HRH Princess Vibhavadi Rangsit was born Her Serene Highness Princess (Mom Chao) to her author parents His Highness Prince Bidyalongkorn and HSH Princess Princess Pornpimolpan Rajani (Voravarn). Educated at Mater Dei School and the Finishing Course in Bangkok, she worked as a secretary for her poet father, who wrote under the pseudonym "Nor Mor Sor".

Inspired by her father's outstanding literary works, the princess loved to write, and her talent started to shine at the tender age of 14 when she began to write a novel for children, Naughty Kids, using the pen name V. Na Pramuanmarg. During World War II, she penned her famous first novel when she was only 18. She even ran into the printing house being razed by a fire to save the manuscript of Prisna, probably one of the best-known works of popular literature in Thai history.

Princess Vibhavadi Rangsit lived a fruitful life as a mother, author and lady-in-waiting to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, until her tragic end in 1977 when communist insurgents shot the helicopter in which she rode trying to bring two wounded border patrol policemen to a hospital in Surat Thani.

As a tribute to her selfless devotion to the Thai people and to the Kingdom, the princess was later elevated to the higher rank of HRH Princess via royal command. In her honour, a then-new highway between Din Daeng and Rangsit was named Vibhavadi Rangsit Road.
