The itinerary included visits to two important historical and religious landmarks: Wat Na Phra Meru Rachikaram and Wat Pom Raman. The trip was led by Asst.

During the excursion, students had the chance to explore and gain deeper insight into Thai art, culture, religious beliefs, and traditional customs that are deeply intertwined with the way of life of the Thai people. These experiences not only broadened their academic understanding but also fostered a greater appreciation for Thailand’s rich cultural heritage.

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to visit such historically and spiritually significant sites. Our sincere thanks go to all the staff and organizers whose dedication and meticulous planning made this trip both educational and enjoyable.

During this annual celebration, led by Dr. Potprecha Cholvijarn, students were able to witness and participate in a vibrant cultural tradition that highlights the rich blend of Thai and Hindu heritage. The festival provided a unique opportunity to observe the rituals, processions, and symbolic offerings, showcasing the deep interconnection between religion and cultural expression in Thai society.
