Mom Rajawongse Sukhumbhand Paripatra (Thai: ม.ร.ว.สุขุมพันธุ์ บริพัตร; rtgs: Sukhumphan Boriphat, Thai pronunciation: [sùʔkʰǔmpʰan bɔːríʔpʰát]; born 22 September 1952) is a Thai politician belonging to the Democrat Party. From 2009-2016 he was the Governor of Bangkok. He was removed from the post in October 2016 by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha who used Section 44 of the interim charter to remove the elected official. The reason given for his ouster was "...because he was involved in many legal cases." He was replaced by Police General Aswin Kwanmuang.
Sukhumbhand was born in Bangkok to Prince Sukhumbhinanda and his commoner wife, Mom Dusadi Na Thalang. Prince Sukhumbhinanda was himself a son of Prince Paripatra Sukhumbhand, the Prince of Nakhon Sawan, a son of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) with his Queen Consort Sukumalmarsri and an important minister of the royal government from 1926 until the end of absolute monarchy in 1932. Sukhumbhand was a second cousin of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The title Mom Rajawongse reflects his royal descent as a great grandchild of a monarch. Sukhumbhand is divorced from Nuchwadi Bamrungtrakul. His second wife is Savitri Paribatra na Ayudhya. He has two sons, one from each marriage.
