National Mother’s Day

National Mother’s Day

August 12 is not only an auspicious occasion as the birth day anniversary of Her Majesty but is also the day on which the entire nation takes the opportunity to pay tribute to their mother-as Thai people regard the Queen as mother of the entire nation.

Thus this occasion is also set aside as “National Mother’s day” which was previously celebrated on April 15 of every year. 

It was only in 1976 that the day was changed to coincide with the Queen’s Birthday which falls on August 12 and a white jasmine flower symbolises the mother whose love towards her children is white and pure.
