Biography

Nak was born in 1737 to a local patron of Bang Chang named Thong and his wife San.

Ekathat. She had three sons and seven daughters by Thong Duang. Her sister, Nuan, was married to Bunnag – the progenitor of Bunnag family
.

Thong Duang was granted the title Somdet Chao Phraya by King

Thonburi Palace
to live with her daughter Chimyai (concubine to King Taksin).

After the incident, Nak and the king had never came into reconciliation. Lady Nak stayed in the Thonburi Palace with her daughter and, after her daughter's death in 1779, took care of her children including Prince Kasatranuchit. The Somdet Chao Phraya became a monarch in 1782 and most of Taksin's sons were executed except for Prince Kasatranuchit who was his own grandson. Lady Nak and her grandsons moved to her former residence and had never received any royal titles. She occasionally went to the Grand Palace to visit her daughters.

In 1809, King Rama I died and was succeeded by his son Rama II who raised his mother Nak to the rank of queen – Krom Somdet Phra Amarindramat (Thai: กรมสมเด็จพระอมรินทรามาตย์) the Queen Mother - and moved to the Grand Palace. However, Prince Kasatranuchit was found to be in a rebellion and was executed along with his siblings and sons. She lived to see her grandson crowned as Rama III and outlived all her children. Queen Amarindra died in 1826.

Queen Amarindra was later raised to Somdet Phra Amarindra Boromma Rajini (Thai: สมเด็จพระอมรินทราบรมราชินี) by King Vajiravudh.
