Books and writing
Galyani Vadhana liked reading and writing from an early age.

She remembered reading a book in French—the 1878 novel Sans Famille—while studying in Switzerland, which she later found again. During Galyani Vadhana's secondary studies, especially in Geneva, she read a lot of literature. She found that reading developed her French...
Photography
Galyani Vadhana was interested in photography. She had learned to take photographs not only as souvenirs but also for art and academic purposes. When she visited important places at home or abroad, she always took photographs of those she found interesting, which were useful in her travel writings.
Music
Galyani Vadhana studied Western art. She was interested in all types of music and drama, especially classical music by master composers. She began listening to classical music while studying in Switzerland. She had studied piano at home with her younger brothers, but only intermittently as she had very little time to practice. While doing her homework, she liked to listen to classical music on a radio. In 2004, concerned about both the government's and the private sector's lack of interest in...
Nature and Environment Conservation
In 1991, Galyani Vadhana visited and stayed at Huai Nam Dang Watershed Management Unit.

Then in 1995, the Royal Forest Department designated this area as Huai Nam Dang National Park, and built a chalet-style palace, which Galyani Vadhana named "Silver Orchids Palace", dedicated to her. She stayed there during late January...
Foreign affairs
Galyani Vadhana traveled abroad many times on formal and private visits. In addition to strengthening friendly relations with those countries, her visits helped spread knowledge of Thai culture and customs. Before any such visit she would carry out careful research. After most of these visits, she collected her notes and the information she had gathered to publish books or reproduce them in digital media for distribution. In 2003 she visited Gretzenbach in Switzerland to officially dedicate t...
