Teacher time
Wai Khru Day, celebrated across Thailand in June every year, has come around once again. It’s a special occasion when students officially pay respect and give special offerings to their teachers.
For this week’s Exercises, SW presents the four common offerings given to teachers.
On Wai Khru Day each year, students formally pay respect and traditionally offer trays to their teachers. Their trays are decorated mainly with dok ma kuea, dok kem, yah praek and kao tok — all of which have different special meanings.
