Cultural Immersion: Discovering Ratchaburi’s Traditions and History

On 30 August, grade 1-3 students visited Ruang Kong Ong, a traditional Thai water-jar pottery factory in Ratchaburi province, operated by a Chinese-Thai family for four generations. Students learned the history and culture of water jar-making, saw an up-close pottery demonstration, and enjoyed painting their own small jars. Students then visited Wat Khlong Suwannakhiri, a temple of historical and architectural importance, followed by a visit to the Koo Bua Community Market, where they experienced local products and traditional foods. The field trip offered a valuable opportunity to be immersed in local culture and gain a deeper understanding of the community’s way of life.
