Songkran, Thailand鈥檚 most renowned festival, came alive at Wells Thong Lor with vibrant celebrations and joyful camaraderie. Students, teachers, and parents joined hands to honor Thai culture and mark the beginning of the traditional Thai New Year in a memorable and spirited manner.
The festivities commended with Wells students from diverse cultural backgrounds coming together to perform traditional Thai dances, paying homage to the rich cultural heritage of Thailand. Following this, the water ceremony took center stage, where students expressed their well wishes for their teachers by pouring water and jasmine petals over their hands, in accordance with Thai tradition.
But Songkran isn’t just about solemn ceremonies鈥攊t’s also a time to let loose and indulge in playful water fights. The dedicated support staff at Wells Thong Lor transformed the school playground into a lively water park, providing an array of exciting activities for everyone to enjoy.
From the exhilarating ‘slip n slide’ to the thrilling ‘water relay’ and the adventurous ‘monkey swing,’ there was no shortage of fun-filled moments for students and teachers alike. And of course, the highlight of the day was ‘the dunk,’ where students eagerly lined up for the chance to dunk their beloved teachers鈥攁n activity that proved to be a crowd favorite.
As the day drew to a close, echoes of laughter and the sound of splashing water filled the air, a testament to the joy and merriment shared by all. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our students, parents, teachers, and support staff for their enthusiastic participation and hard work in making this Songkran celebration a resounding success.
With smiles on our faces and memories to cherish, we bid farewell to Songkran and look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, April 22nd. Until then, we wish all of our families a wonderful and safe holiday filled with happiness and laughter.

Recently, the Grade 1 students from 扣扣传媒 Thonglor embarked on an enriching journey to the Children’s Museum, nestled close to the vibrant Chatuchak Market in Bangkok. This educational escapade wasn’t just a day out; it was a hands-on experience in sustainability, environmental conservation, and artistic expression.

From the moment they stepped into the museum, the students were immersed in a world of learning and discovery. Guided by enthusiastic educators, they delved into the intricate concepts of sustainability and environmental stewardship. Through interactive exhibits and engaging discussions, the young minds grasped the significance of preserving our planet for future generations.

One highlight of the trip was the artistic workshop, where students unleashed their creativity using a unique technique. Armed with tin foil and markers, they let their imaginations run wild, transforming simple materials into stunning artworks. This hands-on activity not only fostered their artistic skills but also instilled a sense of resourcefulness and innovation.

But the learning didn’t stop there. The students were in for a real treat as they embarked on a fossil-digging adventure with their friends. With shovels in hand and excitement in their hearts, they unearthed ancient treasures, uncovering the mysteries of prehistoric life. This immersive experience sparked curiosity and ignited a passion for science and exploration among the young adventurers.

As the day drew to a close, the Grade 1 students returned to school with hearts full of newfound knowledge and memories to cherish. The field trip to the Children’s Museum had left an indelible mark on their young minds, inspiring them to become stewards of the environment and champions of creativity.

扣扣传媒 – On Nut held a special ceremony in honor of His Majesty the Late King Bhumibol Adulyadej to remember his birthday, Father鈥檚 Day and National Day in Thailand. On December 1st, our campus held a ceremony to celebrate fathers and let students show love for their fathers and father figures. Our American Sign Language (ASL) Club and High School choir performed a song called 喔ム浮喔笝喔侧抚 or 鈥楲ove in spring鈥, which has a deep meaning made by King Rama 9. Then Mr.Brian Salter Townsend gave a meaningful speech about 鈥楩ather鈥檚 Day鈥, followed by his sons, Patrick (Class of 2024) and Sean (Class of 2029) also give a heartfelt speech to their father.

Grade 2 Field Trip

Learning About Thai Culture

In Grade 2, students have been learning about the various traditions and cultures in our classroom.聽 As a culminating activity we made an in-depth study of Thai culture by first reviewing what they already knew and would like to learn about traditional Thailand. We then took a field trip to the Bangkokian Museum to learn firsthand what traditional Thai homes, furniture, and household items looked like.Grade 2 Field Trip

Grade 2 Field Trip

Students were intrigued by washbasins, old medicine cabinets, mosquito netting, black and white photographs, and much more.聽 They described typewriters as, 鈥減rinters where you must press the buttons yourself.鈥 They saw old postal stamps and described them as, 鈥渢he things you can get at 7-11鈥.

Application of Knowledge

Upon returning from the trip we compared these older technologies and traditions against what is seen today by completing a Venn diagram. Students showed that long ago people used candles for light whereas today electricity fills this need. Sewing machine and knitting needles were used to make and repair clothing, where today most clothing is purchased at the store. Along with these observations came many questions and impressions. Students weren鈥檛 sure how the old alarm clock worked and felt that traditional Thai wood furniture must be very uncomfortable. The trip was a great opportunity for students to experience and reflect on the ways Thailand has changed over the years.
