December 5 is a public holiday in Thailand to commemorate the birthday of the late King Rama IX (King Bhumibol Adulyadej). The King was fondly referred to as the Father of the Nation, so the date is also celebrated as Father’s Day. Children may present their parents with a jasmine garland on Father’s Day and Mother’s Day (August 12) as a mark of respect. 🙏

December 5 is also National Day in Thailand. Thai people take great pride in their national flag with the colour red representing the nation and the people, white representing Buddhism and religion, and blue symbolising the monarchy. 🇹🇭

It’s been a tough time for areas of North Thailand in recent weeks with flooding affecting thousands of people. Chiang Mai saw unprecedented flooding in parts of the city and province. Despite the hardship, the way that people came together to help each other was heart-warming. We are biased, but Thailand really is amazing. In Chiang Mai, the floodwater has receded and the clean-up is almost complete. With the Loy Krathong and Yi Peng Festival fast approaching, Chiang Mai and North Thailand look forward to welcoming all visitors 👍🙏🇹🇭
