On Friday, 28 October 2016, the Thai Language and Cultural School in Qatar organized the Wai Kru ceremony for Thai students in Qatar to pay respects to their teachers. This is to show their gratitude for the teachers’ sacrifice in teaching them the Thai language and culture every Friday. The students are mostly studying at International schools in Qatar and living in multi-national and multi-cultural environment; hence, not having much opportunity to practice Thai properly. Attending the Thai language and culture class every Friday is a good opportunity for them to practice at a young age. On this occasion, over 40 people including H.E. Mr. Soonthorn Chaiyindeepum, Ambassador of Thailand, his spouse, Embassy’s officials with family, Ms. Kongkan Chitratanachinda, Principal of Thai Language and Culture School in Qatar, the School’s teachers, parents and Thai students, attended the ceremony.
