Queen Savang Vadhana of Siam (Thai: สว่างวัฒนา; RTGS: Sawang Watthana, 10 September 1862 – 17 December 1955) was a consort of King Chulalongkorn or Rama V and his half sister. Her full name and title was Queen Sri Savarindira (Thai: ศรีสวรินทิรา; RTGS: Si Sawarinthira) – thus she was not the Rajini (queen), she was the highest consort. After her first grandson's accession to power in 1935, she became known as Somdech Phra Phan Vasa Ayyika Chao (สมเด็จพระพันวัสสาอัยยิกาเจ้า; rtgs: Somdet Phra Phan Watsa Ai-yika Chao), which means The Queen Grandmother because she was the grandmother of both King Ananda Mahidol and the present king King Bhumibol Adulyadej or Rama IX.
