About Vapi Busbakara of Thailand

Vapi Busbakara (; ; 25 June 1891 – 15 December 1982) was the Princess of Siam (later Thailand). She was a member of Siamese Royal Family. She was a daughter of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) and adoptive daughter of Queen Sri Savarindira. She was one of the longest-living personages in Thai history, behind three children of King Mongkut (Rama IV); Princess Nabhabhorn Prabha, who died at the age of 94 in 1958, Princess Praditha Sari, who died in 1962 at the age of 96, and Prince Krida Bhinihan, who died at the age of 97 in 1952.

Her mother was Chao Chom Manda Phrom (daughter of Phraya Phitsanuloka Thibodi), but her mother died while she was very young. Later, Queen Savang Vadhana took her in as her adopted daughter, along with her elder sister, Princess Prabha Bannabilaya, including also her full siblings Princess Yaovabha Bongsanid, and Prince Rangsit Prayurasakdi.

She built a house near the monastery where her stepmother, Chao Chon Sadap, lived.
