National — In Thailand, August 12th is a day of double celebration, intertwining the significance of motherhood and royal admiration.

On this day, Thai Mother’s Day coincides with the 91st birthday of the Queen Mother, Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, creating a heartfelt occasion that will paint the country in shades of blue.
