Biography[edit]

Sukkasem was the first child of Kaeo Nawarat and Chamariwong of Chiang Mai. He had two full siblings, Princess Buathip na Chiengmai and Wongtawan na Chiengmai, Prince Ratchabut.[1] He attended St. Patrick's School in Moulmein, British Burma.[2]

Biographer Prani Siridhara na Badalung (ปราณี ศิริธร ณ พัทลุง) wrote in his book that Sukkasem loved Ma Mya (Mamia), a young Mon lady of Burmese citizen in Moulmein, but this love was unrequited.[1][3] Apart from the biography book, no further proof of this affair was found so far.[2] Sukkasem married Princess Buachum na Chiengmai in 1905, but they had no children.[1] Sukkasem died on 20 March 1913 at the age of 33.[1]
