Honoring His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great on December 5th

December 4, 2024

WRITER: THE AU LIBRARY

On December 5th, Thailand comes together to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, also known as Father’s Day. This day serves as a tribute to the beloved late monarch’s extraordinary contributions to the nation, including his dedication to sustainable development, education, and the well-being of all Thai people.

Known as the "Father of the Nation," His Majesty King Bhumibol’s visionary projects, particularly in agriculture and water management, have left a profound legacy that continues to benefit communities across Thailand. The Sufficiency Economy Philosophy, pioneered by the King, remains a guiding principle for sustainable and balanced development, inspiring generations to follow his wisdom.

Father’s Day is also a special time for families to honor fathers and father figures, showing gratitude and appreciation for their love and sacrifices. Across the country, people engage in merit-making, almsgiving, and paying respects to their fathers, both living and departed.
