In 2026 the date falls on a Wednesday, with ceremonies and illuminations held around the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Is Thai Mother\u2019s Day and Why August 12?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thai Mother\u2019s Day is August 12 because it is the birthday of Queen Mother Sirikit, wife of the late King Bhumibol. Her birthday is honored nationwide as a day to celebrate the &#8220;mother of the nation.&#8221; It is a public holiday, marked by portraits, ceremonies and evening illuminations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Thais Celebrate Mother\u2019s Day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children give their mothers jasmine flowers or garlands to show gratitude. The fragrant white jasmine symbolizes the pure, unconditional love of a mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Giving jasmine flowers or garlands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kneeling and offering a wai to express thanks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sharing a family meal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making merit (tham bun) at a temple<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Why do people wear light blue?<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Light blue is Queen Mother Sirikit\u2019s symbolic color, tied to the day of the week she was born. On Mother\u2019s Day people wear light blue, and streets and venues are decorated in the same shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Shops and Restaurants Open on Mother\u2019s Day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mother\u2019s Day is a public holiday, but most restaurants and malls stay open as usual. In fact more families dine out, so popular restaurants get busy and reservations are often essential. Banks and government offices are closed. It is not a Buddhist alcohol-ban day, so most venues serve drinks normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Spend Mother\u2019s Day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond a family meal, a Chao Phraya River dinner cruise and visits to illuminated temples and the Grand Palace area are popular ways to mark the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Option<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Family dinner<\/td><td>Reserve ahead; some venues offer a Mother\u2019s Day set menu<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dinner cruise<\/td><td>Night views along the Chao Phraya; great for occasions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Illumination walk<\/td><td>Palace and temple areas decorated; best after dusk<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Temple merit-making<\/td><td>Experience tham bun, mainly in the morning<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ins class=\"klk-aff-widget\"  data-adid=\"1346844\" data-lang=\"en-BS\" data-currency=\"\" data-cardH=\"126\" data-padding=\"92\" data-lgH=\"470\" data-edgeValue=\"655\" data-prod=\"static_widget\" data-amount=\"4\"><a href=\"\/\/www.klook.com\/\">Klook.com<\/a><\/ins>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  (function (d, sc, u) {\n    var s = d.createElement(sc),\n      p = d.getElementsByTagName(sc)[0];\n    s.type = \"text\/javascript\";\n    s.async = true;\n    s.src = u;\n    p.parentNode.insertBefore(s, p);\n  })(\n    document,\n    \"script\",\n    \"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/widget\/fetch-iframe-init.js\"\n  );\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is Thai Mother\u2019s Day?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">August 12 every year, the birthday of Queen Mother Sirikit and a public holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do people give on Thai Mother\u2019s Day?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jasmine flowers or garlands, symbolizing a mother\u2019s pure love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do people wear light blue?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because light blue is Queen Mother Sirikit\u2019s symbolic color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are shops closed on Mother\u2019s Day?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks and government offices close, but restaurants and malls mostly stay open.
