Every August, Thais commemorate August 12th, 'National Mother's Day.' Government and private sectors collaborate to organize activities in remembrance of the National Mother.

Throughout this month, various events are held in schools, universities, temples, shopping malls, tourist attractions, restaurants, hotels, and many more.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand has been running the "August Take Mom on a Trip" campaign for many years, encouraging children and grandchildren to take their mothers on trips, meals, or to visit temples for merit-making throughout the month.

Therefore, this year, if you have the time, don't forget to take your 'Mother' to relax and recharge with positive energy, love, and warmth within the family and community.

For those whose 'Mother' has passed away, consider making a donation to a place that cares for the elderly, such as a nursing home or a facility for the elderly and disabled.

Thailand is now fully an aging society. You will see elderly people everywhere, both in Bangkok and the provinces. Including on BTS and MRT buses, airlines, and more.

Therefore, during this month of love and family, don't forget to care for the elderly at home, in the community, and in senior care facilities. Spread positive energy to each other during this economic slowdown and prolonged global conflict.
