Than Fai: A Morning of Merit and Mindful Beginnings

"ลงวันที่ 25 ธันวาคม 2568 In the early morning of December 25, 2025, the School of Public Health, Walailak University, participated in the traditional Than Fai ceremony at Lan Dharma, Walailak University. Than Fai is a long-standing cultural tradition of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, held to bring blessings, mindfulness, and positive energy in welcoming the New Year. Than Fai refers to the offering of freshly prepared hot food to Buddhist monks in the early hours of the day. The practice is regarded as a meaningful act of merit-making that nourishes both body and spirit, fostering compassion, unity, and inner peace among participants. On this occasion, the School of Public Health prepared soy milk and traditional Thai desserts (Luk Chup) to offer to the monks, as well as to share with attendees. The activity created a warm and serene atmosphere, highlighting the spirit of generosity and community engagement at the close of the year."
