Birabongse Bhanutej Bhanubandh, best known as Prince Bira of Siam, now Thailand (born 15 July 1914 in Bangkok - died 23 December 1985) was a Formula One driver who raced for the Maserati, Simca-Gordini, Gordini and Connaught teams.

[edit] Before the Second World War

Bira had his first try in motor racing in his cousin, Prince Chula Chakrabongse's team, White Mouse Racing, which used ERAs. His expertise behind the wheel of the voiturette earned him the Coupe de Prince Rainier at Monte Carlo.

[edit] Post war

After the war, Bira returned to racing with several teams. By 1954 he was winning the Grand Prix des Frontières on the Chimay road circuit and then finished fourth in the French Grand Prix. He retired at the end of the season.
