The Soul of The Nation
For seven decades, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej was Thailand’s guiding light. The monarch, regarded far and wide as Father to the nation, took the country out of several deadly turns with his wise counsel. His fortitude and devotion to human development were an inspiration to all. Regardless of the differences and disparities across Thai society, His Majesty was a solitary constant, a beacon of hope for Thais rich and poor, young and old, rural farmers and urban residents alike. His Majesty King Bhumibol’s selflessness, generosity and compassion will always be remembered. To honour the monarch, Thais must learn to follow in his footsteps and carry on his royal legacies.

Kanungnit Kietthawornwong:
Sa wad dee ka..
Welcome to a new school year! I would like to introduce myself. My name is Kanungnit Kietthawornwong or you can call me “Kru Boom.” I am the Thai Teacher who will be working with the Thai intermediate and advanced group. This is my 8th year working here.
We live in Thailand therefore it is important that your child knows about the Thai language and culture, especially if they have Thai language as a mother tongue or second language. In class we will be working hard to accomplish language skills while having as much fun as possible. I do occasionally send activities (reading in the primary school) to work on at home, because I believe that students who practice their skills frequently outside of school will make faster progress. If you have any questions at all through out school year, please do not hesitate to contact me or email me at [email protected]

Wai Kru ceremony
In Thai Language and Culture :
The first unit for the beginning of the school year students will learn about : Wai Kru Ceremony. This is a Thai ritual in which students pay respects to their teachers in order to express their gratitude and formalize the student-teacher relationship. Thai culture fosters a deep respect for educators and the Wai kru ceremony is a great way to start the academic year. The ceremony is very formal and decorative but it also is a vital part of the traditional educational system.

The ceremony is very formal and decorative but it also is a vital part of the traditional educational system.
In Thailand Thai people believe that any field of work will have a teacher such as actors, dramatist, magician, astrologist and even boxers. Therefore, we need to have a Wai Kru ceremony to worship or respect the teacher.
The highlights of the day include religious activities, a ceremony of paying respect to teachers and activities to strengthen unity among teachers.
Every year on this day, the Prime Minister or an important poet will establish the motto for teachers. Here is what was chosen for this year by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha:
คำขวัญวันครูแห่งชาติ 2559: “อนาคตก้าวไกล ด้วยครูดี มีคุณภาพ”
Teacher’s Day 2016 Motto: “The future can be bright by good and quality teachers”
There is also วันไหว้ครู /Wan Wai Kru/ or Teachers’ Appreciation Day which is held shortly after the beginning of
the academic year.

Learning Thai Language :
The different between the words ครู/kruu/ and อาจารย์ /aa-jaan/ in Thai. They both means ‘teacher’.
The answer is “ครู /kruu/” is used to call all kinds of educators. However, in Thailand students call teachers who teach in higher education from high school, collage or University level “อาจารย์ /aa-jaan/”, but many of those teachers teaching in higher education level still refer themselves with the word “ครู /kruu/”.
The origin of the word ครู/kruu/ comes from Pali word “ครุ /krú/” or Sanskrit “ คุรุ /kú-rú/” which means heavy (in duty or responsibility).
There is a Thai saying ครูคือแม่พิมพ์ของชาติ /kruu kue mâe-pim kăwng châad/ which means
‘Teachers are the mold of the nation’
