Queen
Sirikit spends as much time travelling with her husband, equally
indifferent to discomforts and long hours, and her interest in
the welfare of rural people closely parallels his. An area in
which she has taken a particularly deep interest in that of finding
sources of supplementary income in the off-season or when crops
are destroyed by droughts or floods. It was to combat such problems
that the Foundation for the Promotion of Supplementary Occupations
and Techniques (known as SUPPORT) was established in 1976 under
Her Majesty's royal patronage, partly through funds supplied by
Her Majesty and partly with public donations.
