April 13 | “National Elderly Day”

Join us in expressing gratitude to our elders because the elderly are like the Bodhi tree and the Banyan tree, providing shelter for the heart in the home.

Elderly people are considered important people in Thai families because they are both fathers, mothers, grandparents, and Thai people tend to live in extended families. However, with the changing times, Most people travel to work in the city, which means they have to leave home. When it's a long holiday, they usually travel back home.

Especially on Songkran Day, because many places often organize Songkran water festivals and pour water on the heads of elders. Therefore, the Thai government supports April 13 of every year as “National Elderly Day” and sets policies to promote the well-being of the elderly.
