On July 4th, 2024, Associate Professor Supakorn Pongbangpho, the President of the University of Phayao, along with administrators and a group of teachers, participated in the Wai Khru Ceremony at the University of Phayao for the academic year 2024. The ceremony was presided over by the President of Phayao University, who received a pedestal tray of flowers, a pedestal tray of incense, candles, and anointed books, in order to bring good fortune to the students of the University of Phayao. Student leaders also took an oath of allegiance to present themselves as students of the university at the Phaya Ngam Mueang Auditorium. The President of the University of Phayao then gave a sermon to the students for the academic year 2024. Following this, the President of Phayao University awarded certificates to students through the Honor Student Model Project, recognizing those who have excelled in various extra-curricular activities. This serves to honor and encourage students to continue striving for excellence, in line with the university’s motto of “Wisdom for Community Empowerment.”
The Wai Khru Ceremony is a traditional Thai ritual that has been practiced since ancient times. It is a way to honor and show gratitude for the teachings and guidance of teachers. This ceremony is a symbol of the student’s desire to become a direct disciple of their teacher, as it is the teacher who imparts knowledge, thoughts, wisdom, and guides the way for their students. As a result, the tradition of Teacher’s Day has been carried on to the present day.
