The Princess, who has graduated with a doctoral degree in law from America's Cornell University, had applied for a position of prosecutor and was selected after passing an oral examination, said spokesman Uthapol Yaisawang.

The Princess is highly qualified for the position, he said, adding that she is a full member of the Thai Bar and has legal experience as a military prosecutor with the Supreme Command Headquarters.

The Princess will start work at the OAG on September 1.

In the oral examination, the Princess had expressed her special interest in the criminal justice process and said she was interested in becoming a prosecutor because the profession involved various aspects, including educating the public on legal matters.

If she was asked to work temporarily in the provinces, the Princess said she was determined to work in either Narathiwat or Ubol Ratchathani, which highly impressed the OAG, Uthapol said.
