Mother's Day in Thailand
August 12 · Level 3 · #1574 of 2238
Mother's Day in Thailand is a time to thank mothers for their love, care and support. Its date follows Queen Sirikit's birthday, linking family celebrations with a national tradition of honouring her.
How it is celebrated: children give their mothers jasmine garlands, express their thanks and spend time with family. Schools hold appreciation events, and charitable acts offer another way to mark the occasion.
Jasmine has a special role as a symbol of maternal love. Both fresh flowers and artificial versions are given, with the white petals representing purity and sincerity.
