Each year, Thailand celebrates two of its most important days, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Mother’s Day celebration is a grand festival to honour Queen Mother Sirikit’s birthday.
How to Celebrate
Thailand’s streets are decorated with lights and flowers during the festival, and there will be fireworks at night. Some people hoist the national flag to express gratitude and loyalty to the Queen. You can attend the candle-lighting ceremonies and taste various local delicacies on the 12th of August. If you’re staying at a Bangkok city hotel, you can gain easy access to the celebrations. Choose Pathumwan Princess Hotel if you want both comfort and convenience.
Activities
You can celebrate the event with your mother if you have travelled to Thailand with family. Take her out for a delicious meal, and get her jasmine flowers, chocolates, or anything she loves. You can also plant jasmines or make donations to a mother in need.
Why It’s Special
Thailand Mother’s Day is not just a day to celebrate mothers but to celebrate love and kindness. Whilst appreciating mothers, it is also a day to do good things and explore Thai culture from a closer perspective.
About Queen Sirikit
Queen Sirikit is known for her charity work across the nation and is the honorary president of the Red Cross. Some of Thailand’s most iconic attractions were named after the Queen, including botanical gardens, convention centres, children’s hospitals, and even a dam. She was knighted in 1965 for her invaluable service to society.
