History: The tradition of celebrating the reigning monarch's birthday as a national holiday has been long-established in Thailand. When it comes to the Queen's Birthday, it was previously celebrated on August 12th during the reign of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), in honor of Queen Sirikit, his consort. However, following the accession of King Maha Vajiralongkorn and his marriage to Queen Suthida, her birthday on June 3rd has become a public holiday.

What People Do: On this day, Thai people often wear blue clothing as a sign of respect for the queen. They participate in community service activities or attend events organized by local governments. Many also take advantage of the public holiday to spend time with family or visit temples to pray for prosperity and pay homage.
In recent years, social media campaigns encourage Thai citizens to express their good wishes for Her Majesty’s health and happiness through online platforms.
