Description:

Cultural Loy Krathong Festival Celebrated at AU with “Green & Clean Concept”
The festive Loy Krathong Tradition was cerebrated among the AU community members not only to preserve the highly valuable cultural heritage and the long-practiced precious custom, but with the environmental concern with the “Green and Clean” practice. To achieve this noble mission, individuals are encouraged to create their old Kratongs made only from biodegradable materials to instill in all members their responsibility of keeping the environments and surroundings not only “Green but but alo Clean”
The extraordinarily colorful event was fun-filled and awe-inspiring; entertaining all participants especially the international students who greatly enjoyed and appreciated the unique Thai Festival.
Foreign students from Myanmar, China and Cambodia cheerfully and actively joined in the occasion by singing the “Loy Krathong Song in Thai Version”

Workshop on how to create the Krathongs
The traditional festive event featured “How to Make the Krathong Session” during which the Office of the Thai Art and Culture’s staff demonstrated the Krathong creating methods using only the biodegrading materials: banana plant chunks, leaves and fresh flowers. A number of interested individuals and several curious international students observed and joined the hands-on practice; learning to appreciate the arts of the Krathong making.

Thai Desserts, Sweets Juice Offered for Sampling.
To enhance the authentic celebrative Thai ambience and joyful atmosphere, certain booths were set up to offer the Thai traditional massage and decorative & ornamental items like the pearl necklaces, Thai products and other booths offered a variety of exquisite & original Thai desserts & sweets and juice for tasting.

Exhibition of Thai Traditional Games
To further add the fun of the celebrative occasion, a number of Thai traditional games were exhibited to revive and preserve the old or originality of the Thai games, showcased by the AUSO and Center for Sports and Fitness staff, while the Security Department’s staff performed Tom-Tom Procession together with the regional musical instruments which greatly entertained and stunned the joyful audiences.

Celebration with Charitable Activities
Apart from the fun activities, Martin De Tours School of Management and Economics creates a joint program with the Government Saving Bank known as the Aomsin Yuwapat Rak Tin” to support the local community in terms of funding and developing of local products. At the same time the proceeds received from the “Share Box” for the Krotongs’ costs will go towards the flood victims in Thailand.
The colorful and elegant festive event gave students a pleasant and refreshing break prior to the start of the approaching new semester when students will shortly return to the on-site classes on campus after a long period of absence during on-line study mode due to the outbreak.
Organized by the Assumption University Student Organization (AUSO) in close collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs, the festival took place on October 29, 2020 at the elegant Salathai (Thai Pavillion), Suvarnabhmi Campus.
AU management members, administrators, faculty, staff and students clad in stylish Thai national dress, joined by Rev. Bro. Dr. Bancha Saenghiran, President-Rector Magnificus, who led the group to float the Krathongs in the University’s crystal clear lake in a gesture of keeping with the Thai culture & tradition, and humbly paying respect to the River Goddess for blessings and forgiveness.
