To the teacher, with gratitude
The Wai Khru ceremony is a Thai ritual in which students pay respects to teachers, express their gratitude and formalise the student-teacher relationship.
The annual ceremony features Baci, a Thai traditional tray decorated with flowers in a lotus shape, to be used as an offering to parents and teachers.
For students, Baci is a reminder that they must perform good deeds and avoid doing bad deeds like a lotus that rises from underwater to the top.
