Happy Teacher’s Day (Jan. 16)

To all the teachers in Thailand: 
enjoy the Teacher’s Day and let yourself be celebrated!

Today, the 16th of January, Teacher’s Day (วันครู) is celebrated throughout Thailand.  It’s a special day and most schools are closed to honor teachers for their contribution to society. The first Teachers’ Day was held in 1957; the date was chosen as it marks the enactment of the Teachers Act, which was published in the Royal Thai Government Gazette on January 16, 1945.
