Wai Kru Day is a Thai ritual in which students respect teachers to convey their appreciation and strengthen the student-teacher connection. In most schools in Thailand, the ceremony is observed on a Thursday in June or July. The ritual involves students showing esteem and humility toward their teachers.

“My school's day of celebration and month of festivities went above and beyond my expectations. 

If you're thinking of teaching in Thailand and you're worried about being away from home for Christmas, I hope my story has reassured you. 

If your Christmas is anything like mine, it will be one of the most memorable and special of your life.”
