On Monday, November 27th, we had an amazing time celebrating our Loy Krathong festival at �ۿ۴�ý – On Nut Campus.

This year, our students created Krathongs that are environmentally friendly and we celebrated in the northern style, called “Lanna” or Yi Peng Festival.

On Loy Krathong Day, our students came up with a traditional Thai dance, followed by a fashion show of Thai clothing from all four regions of Thailand and the different types of Krathong from each region. Both students and teachers showed off various Thai fashion and appreciation of Thai culture.

This was a special day where students and teachers alike came together and dressed in traditional Thai clothing to appreciate and celebrate our Thai culture.

Thank you to the Thai Department and everyone who participated in an amazing and memorable celebration for everyone.��

This year, Loy Krathong was another special day at Wells On Nut Campus. After not being able to celebrate it for the past 3 years, the whole school community was looking forward to this event.��

We launched the event the week before Loy Krathong. Students from middle and high school were invited to show their creativity in the making of krathongs. They collaborated and made incredible krathongs from environmentally friendly products like fruits and vegetables.��

As for the primary students, they used fish food to independently make their krathongs. They were super proud of their masterpieces!��

On November 8th, The Thai Department, in collaboration with the whole school, hosted an International day and Loy Krathong event to commemorate Thai Culture and celebrate the diversity of our internationally minded Wells community. Staff and students were invited to dress in traditional costumes.

��Primary students demonstrated how to make krathongs and the alternative resources that could be used for it. The middle and high school students performed a number on Loy Krathong with the high school students playing Thai traditional instruments and the middle school students dancing to it.�� The event concluded with the whole school dancing to the Thai Rum Wong song.

Loy Krathong is a significant ancient Thai tradition celebrated in November. This year, it took place on November 11th. The origins of this tradition are derived from a ceremony in connection with water, an essential element of Thai life and culture.
