In the month of rising water and full moon, the traditional Thai festival that is held annually was observed when Mahidol University International College’s (MUIC) Student Association (known for its Thai acronym, SMO) decided to host its very own smaller version entitled, “Light and Loy, MUIC Loy Krathong” Festival. The event was held on November 27^th, this year’s official Loy Krathong day.

The activity was held on the ground floor of Aditayathorn Building in which a large part of the space was utilized to accommodate the various food stalls and activities being offered. During the activity there were up to 28 stores set up by both students and outside sellers, making the atmosphere much livelier. There were also three activities, namely, floating a reusable krathong, inhaler workshop, plaster doll-painting, ring toss game and lastly an activity in collaboration with Science Society Club: a candy-making workshop. A total of 610 students participated in the event.

Alas, this was the last activity of SMO for the 1^st Trimester of 2023-2024. The student officers hoped that everyone enjoyed the activities as much as they did and look forward to more events in the next trimester.
