Different countries celebrate Mother's Day on different days and in different ways. In the United States and Australia, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, and in the United Kingdom, on the fourth Sunday of Lent. On these days mothers are usually given handmade gifts and treated to breakfast in bed. While in some countries Mother's Day coincides with an important date, nowhere is this more apparent than in Thailand, where it falls on August 12 to mark Her Majesty the Queen's birthday. Thailand's Mother's Day is therefore not only a time when families show appreciation for their mothers but when Thai people unite to show love and respect for the 'Mother' of Thailand, HM The Queen Regent Sirikit. The day is celebrated with special ceremonies and tributes to Her Majesty in schools around the country. Music, food and cultural festivals take place in many parks and feature fireworks displays as the grand finale. During this time the mood in Thailand is upbeat and festive. It's a great time to organize a family getaway, take a mother's day shopping trip, or for mothers and daughters to have a special spa day at a local hotel. Rates are great throughout Thailand right now, and hotels are offering special promotions during what is normally low season. |
