Princess Ramphoei was born in 1834 to Siriwong, Prince Mattayaphithak (son of [[Rama III]] and Concubine Sap) and Lady Noi (Mom Noi). She was of [[Mon people|Mon]] descent.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://nationmultimedia.com/2007/10/21/lifestyle/lifestyle_30053089.php |title=Mon wives and mothers of kings |access-date=5 March 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080225181828/http://nationmultimedia.com/2007/10/21/lifestyle/lifestyle_30053089.php |archive-date=25 February 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> When her father died at only 27 years, her grandfather—the king—took her and her sister [[Phannarai]] to the Grand Palace and they were said to be his favourite grandchildren.<ref>{{Cite book |author=Prince Chula Chakrabongse |author-link=Chula Chakrabongse |title=Lords of life: A history of the kings of Thailand |year=1982 |page=147}}</ref> In 1853, Ramphoei married her great-uncle Mongkut (who was 30 years her senior) and was raised to a ''Phra Ong Chao'' (a higher rank of princess). In the same year she gave birth to Prince Chulalongkorn. She later became '''Queen Ramphoei'''.

She had 4 children with King Mongkut.
# Prince [[Chulalongkorn]] ({{lang|th|จุฬาลงกรณ์}}), later ''King Chulalongkorn'' (1853–1910)
# Princess [[Chandrmondol]] / Chanthonmonthon ({{lang|th|จันทรมณฑล}}), later ''the Princess Wisutkrasat'' (1855–1863)
# Prince [[Chaturonrasmi]] / Chaturon Ratsami ({{lang|th|จาตุรนต์รัศมี}}), later ''the Prince Chakrabardibongse'' (1856–1900)
# Prince [[Bhanurangsi Savangwongse]] ({{lang|th|ภาณุรังษีสว่างวงศ์}}), later ''the Prince Bhanubandhuwongse Voradej'' (1859–1928)

Queen Ramphoei died in 1861. Her sister (who was also Mongkut's wife), Princess [[Phannarai]], acted as Mongkut's consort for the remainder of his reign. When Chulalongkorn was crowned in 1867, she was posthumously given the title ''Debsirindramataya, the Queen Mother''. Her grandson, [[Vajiravudh]] (Rama VI), gave her the name ''Queen Debsirindra''.
