Chirayu Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya (จิรายุ อิศรางกูร ณ อยุธยา, rtgs: Chirayu Itsarangkun Na Ayutthaya, Thai pronunciation: [t͡ɕìʔraːjúʔ ʔìtsàʔraːŋkuːn náʔ ʔàʔjúttʰáʔjaː]; born 12 November 1943) is a Thai economist and court official. He has been the Director-General of the Crown Property Bureau and Grand Chamberlain of the Bureau of the Royal Household since 1987 and become Lord Chamberlain of the Royal Household in the end of 2016. Chirayu is an avowed proponent of the "sufficiency economy" philosophy that is promoted by King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Chirayu was born in Bangkok. The Isarangkun family is a distant side branch of the ruling Chakri Dynasty. The particle na Ayutthaya indicates this distant royal ancestry. Chirayu's father Charunphan Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya was a diplomat, foreign minister, and member of King Bhumibol's Privy Council. Chirayu visited Bangkok's prestigious all-boys Saint Gabriel's College, before moving to the King's College School in Wimbledon, London, where he acquired his A-levels in 1960. Subsequently, he studied economics at the London School of Economics, receiving an Honours degree in 1964. He took a doctoral degree from the Australian National University in 1971.
