Dr. Napaphis Treephetpaisan Leads Merit-Making Ceremony for National Mother's Day

On October 1, 2026, Matichon Online reported that Dr. Napaphis Treephetpaisan, Director of the school, led a delegation from the Council of Outstanding Mothers Association in a traditional merit-making and alms-giving ceremony. The event was organized to dedicate merit to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother in observance of National Mother's Day, which is celebrated annually on August 12 in Thailand.

For residents and travelers, this event highlights the cultural significance of August 12, a major public holiday in Thailand. During this time, government offices, banks, and some private businesses may close or operate on limited schedules. Visitors may observe various ceremonies, decorations, and displays of blue—the color associated with the Queen Mother—throughout the country. It is a period of national reverence, and travelers are encouraged to dress modestly and behave respectfully when near temples or public commemorative sites.

While the ceremony has concluded, the specific long-term impact of the association's charitable initiatives remains to be confirmed. Those planning travel during future August holidays should check local schedules in advance, as public services and transportation hours may be subject to holiday adjustments.
