Every Thai school celebrated Wai Kru day last Thursday which is a day for students to honor and give thanks to their teachers. There were two ceremonies, one for pratom (grades 1 to 6) and one for mattyom (grades 7 to 12). Each student brings a bouquet of flowers, candles, and incense to be given to teachers as a symbol of appreciation. The bouquets they bring are similar to ones given as offerings at Buddhist temples. This ceremony happens at the beginning of every school year to bring luck and happiness to teachers and students. Thanks for taking great pictures Teacher Oil!
