The Department of Thai Language (Primary) organised Sunthorn Phu Day activities on the 24th of June, 2016, to commemorate Sunthorn Phu, Thailand’s best-known royal poet. He was renowned for composing beautiful literary works such as Phra Aphai Mani. Furthermore, he was honored by UNESCO for his contribution to World Literature. Sunthorn Phu is also known as “the poet of  the Rattanakosin period” and “Thailand’s Shakespeare”. Many students took part in various activities such as drawing and colouring competitions, a costume competition drawn from the characters in the Phra Aphai Mani story, and a Sunthorn Phu quiz.
