As a part of the traditional CMU Freshman Welcoming Celebrations, 1st year students are invited to walk up Doi Suthep (Suthep Mountain) to make merit at Wat Prathat Doi Suthep Temple, one of the most sacred Buddhist temples in Thailand.
The aim of this activity is not only to welcome CMU freshmen but also to foster relationship between the seniors and the new comers. Walking up and along the 11 kilometres of the winding path from the foothill, the students from all Faculties perform their parade, sing the Faculties’ song and help each other. This ceremony is a great experience that all CMU students has never forget.
