Wai Khru Day is celebrated across the kingdom in June each year to honour teachers who disseminateinvaluable knowledge and experience to their students.
For this week’s Exercises, SW looks at the Wai Khru Day celebrations held at Bangkok’s Chanhunbamphen School last year.
Wai Khru ceremonies are special for both teachers and students in Thailand. It is the time once a year when students pay homage to their teachers with trays decorated with joss sticks, candles and the four traditional offerings of kao tok (popped rice), dok makua (pea eggplant flowers), dok kem (Ixora flowers) and yah praek (Burmuda grass).
