Today my grade three students held the Wai Khru ceremony, which gives respect and appreciation (wai is a respectful bow in Thai) to teachers (khru). By participating in the ceremony, students thank their teachers for teaching them well in the past, and they hope to gain merit and good fortune for the future.
Interestingly, there is no set date for the ceremony; each school sets their own date. Yet, Thursday is the best day of the week for the ceremony. (I am happy that today is Thursday!)
The ceremony was beautiful with students speaking and presenting teachers with gorgeous flowers. These garlands are often used for making merit and for other ceremonies. The roses and jasmine smell incredible!
I'm feeling very loved and appreciated!
