Teachers and Y6 Students from Ivanhoe Primary Scool visit the Royal Thai Embassy

On 11 October 2023, the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra welcomed a group of Year 6 students, teachers and parents from Ivanhoe Primary School in Melbourne, Victoria, at the Sala Thai Pavilion, Royal Thai Embassy, Canberra. The group was led by Mr. Mark Kent, Principal of the school. The visit to the Embassy was part of the school’s study visit to Canberra.

On this occasion, H.E. Ms. Arjaree Sriratanaban, Ambassador of Thailand, delivered her welcome remarks and talked to the students about Thailand, which is a culturally rich and modern country and has strong bilateral relations with Australia, underpinned by close connection of their peoples. Embassy officials also ran fun-filled activities aimed at providing basic knowledge about Thailand, Thai language and Thai culture. The group also had opportunity to taste Thai snacks, and learned about the Loy Kratong Festival, a tradition which Thai people celebrate in the 12th lunar month, and which, for this year, falls on 27 November.
