Hua Hin Municipality is celebrating the Thai National Children’s Day of 2014 on 10th of January 2013 from 4 p.m. onwards at 19 Rai Queen Sirikit Memorial Park. In the past His Majesty the King has said that, “Everybody has his own responsibilities. Children’s major responsibilities include learning and studying; that is, they have to know and understand what they are taught and learn how to work for their future career. At the same time, children need to behave well, be mindful and think reasonably so as to grow up and become resourceful people for the country.” In other words, children are important human resources of the country because national advancement and security lie in their hands. However, children have to be inquisitive and diligent with self-discipline.

They have to spend time wisely and creatively while helping others with compassion and volunteerism if there is any chance. The more good and dedicated children a country has, the better the results. To raise awareness among Thai children and youths on self-importance and morality and allow them to enjoy themselves with their peers and parents, the Hua Hin Municipality will organise the Thai National Children’s Day festival with the motto of ‘Maintain SelfDiscipline, Seeking Knowledge, Enhance Wisdom and Prepare Thailand towards ASEAN Community’.

Activities at the festival include fun games and lucky draws for several prizes. Apart from stage performances by children in Hua Hin, young participants will enjoy free food and drinks, too.
