Children's Day in Thailand






Children's Day is another holiday that is celebrated in the Kingdom of Thailand though this is celebrated during the first Saturday of February. This celebration started in 1955 and it was held every first Monday of October then later changed to second Saturday of January. Normally, this day is a family activity to treat their children somewhere like amusement park, malls, restaurant, beach etc. In addition in this celebration, parents bring their children to some place like Government offices which are open to children and their family enter. Children have an opportunity to check out the Prime Minister’s office and the Royal Thai Air Force to go and explore the aircraft.
There are some shows and other promotion for children. One of this is from BTS Sky Train which will give children with the height of not over 140 centimeters to ride the BTS Skytrain for free on the day from 6 am to midnight at all 25 stations.
