Maha Vajirunhis, Crown Prince of Siam (; ; 27 June 1878 – 4 January 1895) was the first Crown Prince of the Chakri dynasty.

The European-style palace was demolished after his death. The site is now occupied by the National Stadium of Thailand. Heir apparent. In 1886, after the death of the last Vice King Bovorn Vichaichan, King Chulalongkorn chose not to appoint one of his brothers as a new Vice King, but  instead appointed his eldest son as the Crown Prince of Siam. On 14 January 1886, he was officially introduced to his position with the title of "Sayam Makutrajakuman", or Crown Prince of Siam. From this appointment Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the British ambassador to Thailand, brought a telegraph of congratulations from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Private interests. Prince Vajirunhis was interested in the liberal arts, writing daily in a diary he was given by his father at the age of five. He wrote many poems.
