National Tree Care Day originated from the vision of Her Royal Highness the Princess Mother (Somdej Ya), who placed great importance on the care and maintenance of trees and sought to restore the balance of nature. Throughout her life, she personally engaged in the planting and nurturing of trees. For this reason, the Cabinet passed a resolution on June 26, 1990, designating October 21—the birthday of Her Royal Highness the Princess Mother (Somdej Phra Srinagarindra Boromrajajonani)—as "National Annual Tree Maintenance Day."
           Subsequently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives solicited suggestions from the general public to determine an appropriate name for this day. The name "National Tree-Loving Day" (Wan Rak Ton Mai Prajam Pi Khong Chat) was selected; consequently, "National Tree Maintenance Day" was renamed "National Tree-Loving Day"—also referred to simply as "National Tree-Loving Day" (Wan Rak Ton Mai Haeng Chat)—effective from October 15, 1990, onwards.
