Queen Suthida met Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako at Tokyo’s Imperial Palace on Tuesday evening, following a packed week of sporting engagements. The historic royal audience came just 12 days after the 48-year-old Queen completed a solo flight in a Gripen fighter jet, becoming the first reigning queen reported to achieve the feat. Indeed, she personally piloted the royal aircraft to Japan six days later. Meanwhile, her visit to Sapporo as an international women’s ice hockey ambassador follows her gold medal triumph at the Southeast Asian Games last December. From flying fighter jets to winning sailing gold for Thailand, the Queen’s latest achievements have now culminated in her first meeting with Japan’s imperial couple on a busy trip.

Queen Suthida met Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako at Tokyo’s Imperial Palace on Tuesday evening, 20 October. The meeting followed her participation in an international women’s ice hockey championship in Sapporo.

It also came 12 days after her historic solo flight in a Gripen fighter jet. Notably, the 48-year-old Queen won a Southeast Asian Games sailing gold medal for Thailand last December. Her Japanese visit brought together royal diplomacy, international sport and a series of aviation achievements.

The royal audience began at approximately 6.30 pm Japanese time. Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako personally welcomed Queen Suthida at the entrance to their Imperial Palace residence. The three royals exchanged smiles and handshakes before entering the palace for a private tea reception.

According to Japanese and Thai reports, they conducted their conversation in English. Japan’s Imperial Household Agency confirmed that this was the Queen’s first meeting with the Japanese imperial couple.

The encounter continued decades of exchanges between Thailand’s Royal Family and Japan’s Imperial Family. Both countries maintain extensive diplomatic, economic and cultural relations.

However, no detailed account of the private discussions was immediately released. Nor were any diplomatic agreements announced following the reception. The meeting came after several days of sporting engagements by Queen Suthida in Hokkaido, northern Japan.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Queen departed the InterContinental Sapporo hotel at approximately 11.10 am local time. She then travelled by royal motorcade to New Chitose Airport before boarding a royal aircraft for Tokyo.

Upon arrival at Haneda Airport, Thailand’s embassy minister Vipawee Rangsimalaporn welcomed her alongside other diplomatic officials. Subsequently, Queen Suthida travelled to the Imperial Hotel Tokyo before attending the evening reception at the Imperial Palace.

Queen’s eight-day Japan visit centres on women’s ice hockey championship and international sporting role

The journey formed part of an official Japanese visit scheduled from 14 to 22 October. The invitation came from the president of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). Queen Suthida serves as the federation’s first Women’s Global Ambassador, a position she accepted in 2023.

Her principal engagement was the 2027 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s Asia Championship in Sapporo. The tournament took place from 15 to 18 October at the Tsukisamu ice hockey venue.

During the competition, Queen Suthida watched matches involving international women’s teams and presented medals and trophies. Her attendance followed several years of involvement in women’s ice hockey, including appearances at major international competitions.

Earlier this year, she attended women’s ice hockey medal matches at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy. In addition, she has participated directly in international ice hockey exhibition play rather than limiting her involvement to ceremonial appearances.

Queen’s ice hockey exhibition match precedes historic solo Gripen flight witnessed by King Vajiralongkorn

Previously, the Queen took part in an international exhibition match involving Thailand and China. That encounter ended in a 6–6 draw and was attended by IIHF president Luc Tardif.

Her involvement reflected her longstanding personal interest in the sport and her responsibilities as the federation’s ambassador. Accordingly, the Japanese championship continued an established programme of international sporting engagements.

Separately, the visit to Japan came just days after a significant development in the Queen’s aviation career. On 8 October, she completed her first solo flight in a Swedish-built Saab JAS 39C Gripen fighter aircraft.

The flight took place at a Royal Thai Air Force base in Surat Thani. King Maha Vajiralongkorn was present to witness the achievement. Afterwards, he presented the Queen with flowers and a gold Gripen qualification patch.

The achievement was reported internationally as the first solo fighter jet flight completed by a reigning queen. It followed four months of specialised preparation involving technical instruction, simulator exercises and practical aviation training.

Four months of Gripen training followed by royal flight to Japan as Queen builds on aviation experience

Specifically, Queen Suthida studied 45 technical subjects and completed 20 simulator sorties during the programme. Her solo Gripen flight lasted approximately 41 minutes, completing the intensive training undertaken with the Royal Thai Air Force.

However, the Queen already possessed extensive aviation experience before beginning her fighter aircraft programme. She started flying instruction in 2010 and has since accumulated approximately 1,190 flying hours.

Previously, she worked as a flight attendant with Japan Airlines and Thai Airways. She subsequently obtained flying qualifications and developed experience operating civilian aircraft. Additionally, she has flown alongside King Maha Vajiralongkorn during royal journeys.

On 14 October, just six days after her Gripen flight, Queen Suthida personally piloted the royal aircraft to Japan. The aircraft departed Bangkok and landed at New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido. Following her arrival, she drove herself from the airport to her hotel in Sapporo. Thailand’s Public Relations Department subsequently reported the journey. The flight came shortly after she completed her solo fighter aircraft qualification.

Queen Suthida’s SEA Games gold came as navigator and strategist aboard Thailand’s racing boat

On another front, Queen Suthida’s international sporting engagements follow her success as a competitive athlete. On 18 December 2025, she helped Thailand win a sailing gold medal at the 33rd Southeast Asian Games.

The victory came in the mixed keelboat SSL47 competition, held in waters off Pattaya. Queen Suthida competed as navigator and strategist aboard a 14-metre racing vessel alongside nine other Thai sailors.

During the competition, she also helped steer the boat as Thailand competed against regional rivals. The opposing teams included crews representing Malaysia and Burma. Ultimately, Thailand secured the gold medal, with Queen Suthida competing as an active member of the national sailing team.

Her role was competitive rather than ceremonial. She undertook navigation and tactical responsibilities throughout the racing programme. Following the victory, King Maha Vajiralongkorn officiated at the medal ceremony.

Aviation skills help Thai sailing crew as Queen also celebrates women’s ice hockey gold at SEA Games

According to World Sailing, the Queen’s aviation knowledge contributed directly to the Thai crew’s performance. Thai sailor Noppakao Poonpat explained that her understanding of meteorology helped the team assess changing weather conditions.

In particular, she helped interpret cloud formations and anticipate shifts in wind direction during racing. These observations were relevant to navigation and tactical decisions aboard the sailing vessel.

The gold medal also recalled Thailand’s established royal sailing tradition. In 1967, King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Princess Ubolratana won sailing gold medals at the Southeast Asian Peninsular Games.

Nearly six decades later, Queen Suthida added another royal sporting achievement through her participation in Thailand’s national team. Moreover, her involvement at the 2025 Southeast Asian Games extended beyond sailing.

The following day, 19 December, she attended the women’s ice hockey final in Bangkok. Thailand defeated the Philippines 13–4 to secure the gold medal after dominating the competition. Queen Suthida subsequently presented medals to the victorious Thai players. The ceremony linked her international ice hockey responsibilities with Thailand’s success in the regional championship.

Queen’s ice hockey and half-marathon appearances add to her sporting record after SEA Games sailing gold

Her association with ice hockey also includes direct participation on the ice. Previously, she played in the international exhibition match involving Thailand and China. The contest finished 6–6, with IIHF president Luc Tardif among those attending. The event formed part of her wider involvement with international ice hockey and the sport’s governing federation.

Beyond ice hockey and sailing, Queen Suthida has also participated in competitive distance running. In December 2025, she completed a Bangkok half-marathon in two hours, 13 minutes and 40 seconds.

The event featured Kenyan distance runner Eliud Kipchoge, a former Olympic marathon champion. Consequently, her sporting activities during the closing weeks of 2025 included sailing, ice hockey and distance running.

The SEA Games sailing victory carried particular significance because the Queen competed directly for Thailand. She was part of the crew throughout the competition, undertaking navigation and tactical responsibilities before securing the gold medal.

Her subsequent international sporting engagements included the Winter Olympics in Italy and the women’s ice hockey championship in Japan. In parallel, her role as the IIHF’s first Women’s Global Ambassador has involved regular participation in international ice hockey events.

International ice hockey ambassador’s visit to Sapporo leads to royal audience at Tokyo’s Imperial Palace

The appointment, accepted in 2023, established her formal connection with the sport’s international governing body. Her latest appearance in Sapporo included attending championship matches and presenting awards to competitors.

The tournament was staged at the Tsukisamu ice hockey venue between 15 and 18 October. After those engagements, Queen Suthida travelled to Tokyo for Tuesday’s royal audience.

The meeting with Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako came at the end of a concentrated international sporting programme. It also followed an active period of aviation training and flying.

Within 12 days, the Queen had completed a solo Gripen fighter jet flight and personally piloted an aircraft to Japan. She then attended an international women’s ice hockey competition before meeting Japan’s Emperor and Empress.

Imperial Palace meeting follows Queen’s Gripen flight and sporting successes ahead of return to Thailand

The sequence followed her Southeast Asian Games sailing gold medal approximately ten months earlier. Meanwhile, Tuesday’s Imperial Palace meeting maintained contact between the Thai and Japanese royal households.

Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako personally welcomed Queen Suthida before holding the private tea reception. Japan’s Imperial Household Agency confirmed that the encounter was their first meeting. No detailed public account of their discussions followed the reception.

Queen Suthida is scheduled to conclude her official Japanese visit on Thursday, 22 October. She is expected to arrive at Don Mueang Military Airport in Bangkok at approximately 5 pm. Her return will complete an eight-day visit involving international sporting commitments in Hokkaido and a royal audience in Tokyo.

The Japanese programme follows her first solo fighter jet flight, completed less than two weeks before Tuesday’s meeting. It also comes within a year of her SEA Games sailing gold medal and Thailand’s women’s ice hockey victory.

Together, the engagements encompass international royal relations, competitive sport and military aviation. On Tuesday evening, the Queen’s latest visit reached its diplomatic highlight at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

生活、媒体、泰国

在结束了一周繁忙的体育活动后，苏提达王后于周二晚在东京皇宫觐见了日本天皇德仁和皇后雅子。此次历史性的皇家觐见距离这位48岁的王后驾驶鹰狮战斗机完成单人飞行仅12天，她成为首位完成此壮举的在位王后。事实上，六天后她亲自驾驶皇家飞机飞往日本。与此同时，她以国际女子冰球大使的身份访问札幌，此前她于去年12月在东南亚运动会上夺得金牌。从驾驶战斗机到为泰国赢得帆船金牌，王后近期的成就最终促成了她在繁忙的访问行程中首次与日本皇室夫妇会面。

10月20日星期二晚上，苏提达王后在东京皇宫会见了日本天皇德仁和皇后雅子。此前，她刚刚参加完在札幌举行的国际女子冰球锦标赛。

此次访问距离她驾驶鹰狮战斗机完成历史性的单人飞行仅12天。值得一提的是，这位48岁的王后去年12月代表泰国赢得了东南亚运动会帆船比赛的金牌。她的日本之行融合了皇家外交、国际体育赛事以及一系列航空成就。

觐见皇室成员的仪式于日本时间下午6点30分左右开始。德仁天皇和雅子皇后亲自在皇宫入口处迎接了苏提达王后。三位皇室成员互相微笑握手，随后进入皇宫参加私人茶会。

苏提达王后从札幌抵达东京后，与日本皇室夫妇举行了首次会谈。

据日本和泰国媒体报道，他们用英语进行了交谈。日本宫内厅证实，这是王后首次会见日本皇室夫妇。

此次会晤延续了泰国皇室与日本皇室数十年来的交流。两国保持着广泛的外交、经济和文化关系。

然而，会谈的具体内容并未立即公布。招待会后也未宣布任何外交协议。此次会晤是在苏提达王后于日本北部北海道进行数日体育活动之后举行的。

周二早些时候，女王于当地时间上午11点10分左右离开札幌洲际酒店。随后，她乘坐皇家车队前往新千岁机场，并登上皇家专机前往东京。

苏提达王后抵达羽田机场后，泰国驻日本大使馆公使维帕维·兰西玛拉蓬及其他外交官员迎接了她。随后，苏提达王后前往东京帝国酒店，之后出席了在皇宫举行的晚间招待会。

女王为期八天的日本之行以女子冰球锦标赛和国际体育角色为中心。

此次行程是苏提达王后10月14日至22日对日本进行正式访问的一部分。邀请来自国际冰球联合会（IIHF）主席。苏提达王后是该联合会的首位女性全球大使，她于2023年接受了这一职务。

她的主要任务是参加在札幌举行的2027年国际冰球联合会女子冰球亚洲锦标赛。该赛事于10月15日至18日在月佐木冰球馆举行。

比赛期间，苏提达王后观看了国际女子冰球队的比赛，并颁发了奖牌和奖杯。此前，她已多年积极参与女子冰球运动，包括多次代表国家队参加重要的国际赛事。

今年早些时候，她出席了在意大利米兰-科尔蒂纳冬季奥运会举行的女子冰球奖牌争夺赛。此外，她还直接参与了国际冰球表演赛，而不仅仅局限于出席仪式。

在哇集拉隆功国王的见证下，皇后乐队将进行一场冰球表演赛，随后进行历史性的鹰狮战斗机单人飞行。

此前，女王曾参加过泰国和中国之间的一场国际表演赛。那场比赛最终以6比6平局结束，国际冰球联合会主席卢克·塔迪夫也到场观战。

她的参与体现了她对这项运动的长期个人兴趣以及她作为联合会大使的职责。因此，日本锦标赛延续了其既定的国际体育活动计划。

此外，女王此次访日前几天，她的航空事业也取得了重大进展。10月8日，她驾驶瑞典制造的萨博JAS 39C“鹰狮”战斗机完成了首次单飞。

此次飞行在素叻他尼府的泰国皇家空军基地进行。泰国国王玛哈·哇集拉隆功亲临现场见证了这一壮举。随后，他向王后献上鲜花和一枚金色的鹰狮战斗机飞行资格徽章。

这项成就被国际媒体报道为在位女王首次完成的单人战斗机飞行。此前，她进行了为期四个月的专门准备，包括技术指导、模拟器练习和实际飞行训练。

女王在完成为期四个月的鹰狮战斗机训练后，乘坐皇家专机前往日本，进一步积累飞行经验。

具体来说，苏提达王后在训练期间学习了45门技术课程，并完成了20次模拟器飞行。她的单飞“鹰狮”战斗机飞行时长约41分钟，完成了在泰国皇家空军接受的强化训练。

然而，女王在开始战斗机飞行计划之前就已经拥有丰富的航空经验。她于2010年开始接受飞行训练，至今已积累了约1190小时的飞行时间。

此前，她曾在日本航空和泰国航空担任空乘人员。之后，她取得了飞行资格，并积累了丰富的民用飞机驾驶经验。此外，她还曾多次陪同玛哈·哇集拉隆功国王乘坐皇家航班出访。

10月14日，在完成鹰狮战斗机试飞仅六天后，苏提达王后亲自驾驶这架皇家飞机前往日本。飞机从曼谷起飞，降落在北海道新千岁机场。抵达后，她亲自驾车从机场前往札幌的酒店。泰国公共关系部随后对此次行程进行了报道。此次飞行是在她完成单飞战斗机资格认证后不久进行的。

苏提达王后在东南亚运动会上以泰国赛艇领航员和战略家的身份获得金牌。

另一方面，苏提达王后在国际体育领域的成就也源于她作为一名竞技运动员的辉煌战绩。2025年12月18日，她帮助泰国在第33届东南亚运动会上赢得了帆船金牌。

这场胜利是在芭堤雅附近海域举行的SSL47混合龙骨帆船比赛中获得的。苏提达王后作为领航员和策略师，与其他九名泰国水手一起，驾驶一艘14米长的赛艇参赛。

比赛期间，她还协助掌舵，带领泰国队与来自马来西亚和缅甸等地区的对手展开角逐。最终，泰国队夺得金牌，苏提达王后作为国家帆船队的一员参赛。

她的角色是竞技性的而非礼仪性的。在整个比赛过程中，她承担了导航和战术方面的职责。获胜后，玛哈·哇集拉隆功国王主持了颁奖仪式。

航空技能助力泰国帆船队夺冠，与此同时，女王也庆祝女子冰球队在东南亚运动会上获得金牌。

据世界帆船联合会称，女王的航空知识直接提升了泰国船队的竞技水平。泰国帆船运动员诺帕考·蓬帕特解释说，女王对气象学的理解帮助团队评估了不断变化的天气状况。

尤其值得一提的是，她帮助解读云层形态，并预测比赛期间风向的变化。这些观察结果对帆船上的导航和战术决策至关重要。

这枚金牌也让人回想起泰国悠久的皇家帆船传统。1967年，普密蓬·阿杜德国王和乌汶叻公主在东南亚半岛运动会上获得了帆船金牌。

近六十年后，苏提达王后加入泰国国家队，为王室体育再添一项成就。此外，她参与2025年东南亚运动会的项目也远不止帆船。

12月19日，她出席了在曼谷举行的女子冰球决赛。泰国队以13比4战胜菲律宾队，夺得金牌，展现了强大的统治力。随后，苏提达王后为泰国队队员颁发了奖牌。颁奖仪式将她作为国际冰球运动员的职责与泰国队在区域锦标赛上的成功联系起来。

继东南亚运动会帆船金牌之后，奎因参加冰球和半程马拉松比赛也为她的体育履历增添了光彩。

她与冰球的联系也体现在她直接参与冰上运动方面。此前，她曾代表泰国队和中国队参加国际表演赛。比赛最终以6比6平局结束，国际冰球联合会主席卢克·塔迪夫也到场观战。此次活动是她更广泛地参与国际冰球运动和该运动管理机构活动的一部分。

除了冰球和帆船运动，苏提达王后还参加过长跑比赛。2025年12月，她以2小时13分40秒的成绩完成了曼谷半程马拉松。

此次活动邀请了肯尼亚长跑运动员、前奥运会马拉松冠军埃利乌德·基普乔格参加。因此，她在2025年最后几周的体育活动包括帆船、冰球和长跑。

东南亚运动会帆船比赛的胜利意义非凡，因为王后直接代表泰国参赛。她全程参与比赛，负责导航和战术指挥，最终夺得金牌。

她随后参与的国际体育赛事包括意大利冬季奥运会和日本女子冰球锦标赛。与此同时，作为国际冰球联合会首位女子全球大使，她也定期参加国际冰球赛事。

国际冰球大使访问札幌后，觐见了东京皇宫皇室成员。

她于2023年接受了这项任命，正式确立了她与这项运动国际管理机构的联系。她最近一次在札幌露面包括观看锦标赛比赛并为参赛选手颁奖。

该锦标赛于10月15日至18日在月神冰球馆举行。结束这些活动后，苏提达王后前往东京，参加周二的皇家觐见。

与德仁天皇和雅子皇后的会面是在一系列密集的国际体育赛事结束后进行的。此前，她还进行了一段时间的航空训练和飞行。

在短短12天内，女王就完成了单人驾驶鹰狮战斗机的飞行，并亲自驾驶飞机前往日本。之后，她出席了一场国际女子冰球比赛，并会见了日本天皇和皇后。

在女王乘坐鹰狮战斗机飞行并取得体育赛事成功后，皇宫举行了会晤，随后女王返回泰国。

此前约十个月，她获得了东南亚运动会帆船比赛的金牌。与此同时，周二在皇宫举行的会晤也维持了泰日两国皇室之间的联系。

德仁天皇和雅子皇后亲自接见了苏提达王后，随后举行了私人茶会。日本宫内厅证实，这是天皇和王后首次会面。茶会结束后，并未公开详细记录双方的谈话内容。

苏提达王后将于10月22日星期四结束对日本的正式访问。预计她将于下午5点左右抵达曼谷廊曼军用机场。此次为期八天的访问行程包括前往北海道参加国际体育赛事以及在东京觐见皇室成员，届时她将返回日本。

在周二的会议召开前不到两周，她刚刚完成了首次单人战斗机飞行，而此次日本项目也紧随其后。此外，距离她获得东南亚运动会帆船金牌以及泰国女子冰球队夺冠也不到一年。

这些活动涵盖国际王室关系、竞技体育和军事航空等领域。周二晚间，女王此次访问的外交高潮在东京皇宫达到顶峰。

女王成为首位驾驶瑞典鹰狮战斗机的泰国女性。国王前往素叻他尼府祝贺她。

周日，苏提达王后向国王颁发了王后杯奖杯，国王则在一旁观看了比赛的最后阶段。

国王和王后结束对法国的国事访问返回泰国，此次访问的最后一站是位于图卢兹的空客总部。

在皇家巡访的繁忙一天中，国王和王后与西里万纳瓦瑞公主一同乘船游览巴黎塞纳河。

泰国国王和王后六十年来首次对法国进行国事访问，首站巴黎。

英国国王和王后将于6月28日至7月2日对法国进行国事访问。此次访问由马克龙总统邀请。

总理在巴黎爱丽舍宫访问期间向法国总统马克龙简要介绍了柬埔寨边境问题。

随着阿努廷抵达法国，加强与欧洲的关系、人工智能投资以及为泰国游客提供前往欧洲的便利将得到推动。
