Children’s Day 2024 ⭐ [video]
The Torsang team was very excited to be asked to join Ban Hua Fai school in celebrating Children’s Day 2024. The invitation certainly kept with this year’s theme that Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin announced to: “Have a broader perspective. Think constructively. Respect differences. Join forces in building democracy.”
Every year since 1966*, Children’s Day takes place on the second Saturday of January. The school wanted to do something special for the students so they asked the Torsang Team to join forces with them for a Friday morning extravaganza. While they organized events and student performances, we happily supplied the children with tons of snacks and gifts. The feeling in the air was joyful as students performed, gleefully showing off all their hard work.
We spent a half day at the school and the time flew by. What a fun day! It’s always a joy to see so many happy, smiling faces.
The first Children’s Day in Thailand took place on 3 October, 1956. Originally set to take place annually on the first Monday of October, that changed in 1966 when the Committee for National Children’s Day moved the holiday to every second Saturday of January so that it would be more convenient for working parents.
