As Thailand celebrates Father's Day on December 5th, Assumption University of Thailand (AU) joins the nation in commemorating this special day. This date, marking the birth anniversary of the beloved late King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, Rama IX, holds profound significance for us all.
King Bhumibol was more than a monarch; he was a father figure to the nation. His extraordinary reign, the longest in Thai history, was marked by his dedication to the welfare and betterment of his people, guiding Thailand through countless challenges with compassion and wisdom.
His Majesty was a visionary leader, instrumental in the modernization of Thailand. He initiated numerous development projects, particularly in rural areas, revolutionizing Thai agriculture and education. His commitment to sustainable development and innovation is a guiding light for our university.
King Bhumibol's legacy is not just in tangible projects but in the unity, peace, and compassion he fostered across the nation. His empathetic and understanding leadership style is a cornerstone of our values at Assumption University.
In reflecting on this special day, Brother Bancha, the President of Assumption University, shared his thoughts: "King Bhumibol Adulyadej's life was a testament to the power of compassionate leadership and a relentless commitment to the welfare of all people. His legacy is a beacon that guides our efforts in educating and nurturing future generations. As we celebrate Father's Day, we are reminded of his enduring spirit and the profound impact he had on our nation and the world."
This Father's Day, we remember King Bhumibol not just as a monarch, but as a guiding force, a fatherly figure who nurtured and led his nation with grace and dedication. We encourage the AU community to embrace his values of hard work, dedication, and compassion.
King Bhumibol Adulyadej's enduring legacy continues to inspire and guide us. On this Father's Day, Assumption University honors his memory and contributions, joining hands with the nation in remembering a great King, a beloved father to Thailand, and a symbol of unity and progress.
