On 4th June, 2017, BEAM Students and Teachers participated in the Teacher Appreciation Day event at Pan Suan Kaew Hotel organized by Thai Non-Formal and Informal Education Department, Chiang Mai. Thailand has been celebrating this day in honor of educators. It’s a day to remember their importance in the lives of children and teachers are seen to have a position of high honor. Wai Kru Day is another way Thai people show their respect for educators. This takes place at the beginning of the new school year, in June or July. Students perform the “Wai Kru Ceremony”. They bow before their teachers and offer them flowers with candles and incense in a gold container. The bouquets given to the teachers have three specific flowers in them: one symbolizing wit, one for respect, and the other for perseverance. In performing the ceremony, the students are thanking the teachers for having been taught well in the past, while hoping to gain merit, and good luck for the future.
