In 2017, Bajrakitiyabha was appointed as a goodwill ambassador for the rule of law in Southeast Asia by the United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.

He enlisted in the military in 2021 and was awarded the rank of general and served as chief of staff within the Royal Security Command.
