She became
Queen Consort of
Laos in late October 1959. As queen, she and her husband attended public events and ceremonies. In 1963, she accompanied the king on an official state visit to the United States, where they were hosted by US President, John Kennedy. Her husband was forced to
abdicate the
throne on 2 December 1975. After the coup, the former royal couple lived in house arrest in the former royal palace. She was arrested in 1977 along with the former King and her family, and sent to a
Communist 're-education camp'. After their arrest, the former Royal Palace was made in to a museum. She reportedly died in 1982 in a
Communist 're-education camp' in northern Laos along with her husband and their son Crown Prince Vong Savang, probably around Sop Hao.
