On 27 February 2026 at 2:00 p.m., Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously attended and opened the exhibition showcasing students’ academic skills, organized under the Academic Conference on the Development of Children and Youth in Remote Areas under the Royal Initiative, Year 2025 (B.E. 2568), at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre.
Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, Mr. Narong Ruangsri, Permanent Secretary of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, advisors to royal initiative projects, and heads of government agencies were present to receive Her Royal Highness.
On this occasion, Her Royal Highness graciously presented certificates to 48 students and novice monks who received Outstanding Royal Awards from the academic skills competitions held under the conference. Their works were exhibited at this event. She also delivered a royal address to the students, teachers, and agencies supporting the royal initiative, stating:
“I am pleased to be here today to open the exhibition of students’ academic skills, which is part of the Academic Conference on the Development of Children and Youth in Remote Areas under the Royal Initiative, Year 2025.
This event provides students with the opportunity to express their abilities, ideas, feelings, and imagination freely through their submitted works. It is an activity that promotes students’ development, helping them learn to think, observe their surroundings, and convey their observations into various forms of work. Many students have their own ideas and imagination; when given the opportunity to express themselves, teachers can better understand their thoughts and needs, and provide guidance accordingly. This activity also creates positive experiences that will benefit students in their future educational pursuits at higher levels.
The time is now appropriate. I hereby declare the exhibition of students’ academic skills open. May this event achieve its intended objectives in every respect, and may all attendees be blessed with happiness and well-being.”
Afterward, Her Royal Highness cut the ceremonial ribbon to officially open the exhibition and viewed the students’ works. The exhibits included paper cutting, pasting, and tearing artworks, drawings, handwriting practice, Thai essay writing, English essay writing, daily journals for the school lunch agricultural project, and storytelling presentations by students who received Royal Awards.
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously granted permission for the organization of the Academic Conference on the Development of Children and Youth in Remote Areas under the Royal Initiative, Year 2025 (B.E. 2568), under the theme:
“70th Auspicious Birthday Anniversary: Children and Youth Continuing Agricultural Heritage and Environmental Conservation.”
The conference was held from 23–24 November 2025 at Bangkok Thonburi Hall, Bangkok Thonburi University, Thawi Watthana District, Bangkok. She also graciously permitted the organization of academic skills competitions for students, with the awarded works later exhibited at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre.
