The Legal Affairs Division participated in the 2025 Songkran Festival at Khon Kaen University, celebrating and preserving Isan culture through the event “Boon Duean Ha: Hae Phutthabucha – Paying Respect to Elders.”

On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, the Legal Affairs Division participated in the grand annual event “Boon Duean Ha: Hae Phutthabucha – Paying Respect to Elders” at the Cultural Pavilion by Bueng Sri Than. The event aimed to preserve the traditional “Heet Sib Song” customs, reflecting the rich cultural values of the region.

This year’s celebration carried special significance, taking place after UNESCO’s 2023 recognition of “Songkran in Thailand” as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It emphasized the importance of safeguarding Thai traditions, particularly the Boon Duean Ha festival—an essential Isan cultural heritage that Khon Kaen University has long upheld and practiced.
