-------------------------------
On Thursday, April 9, 2026, Assistant Professor Dr. Tasanee Attharas, Dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, presided over the opening ceremony and offered blessings for the Thai New Year, Songkran Festival 2026, at the 100-seat auditorium on the 5th floor of the Samut Songkhram campus. The event was attended by the executive committee, faculty, staff, and students. Assistant Professor Dr. Pimpong Thongmuang, Vice Rector of the Samut Songkhram Campus, also participated.
The project was organized to promote the preservation of Thailand's fine cultural traditions. It began with a performance by first-year nursing students, followed by a ceremony of bathing the Buddha image and a replica of the statue of Queen Sunantha Kumareerat, a water-pouring ceremony to seek blessings from the executive committee, Thai cultural performances, and activities to foster good relationships between faculty, staff, and students, all in a warm atmosphere filled with respect for cultural values.
