Veterans' Day is observed in Thailand every year on February 3, commemorating the foundation of the War Veterans Organization of Thailand. The official remembrance ceremony takes place at the Victory Monument in Bangkok, which was erected in 1941 to honor Thailand's victory in the Franco-Thai War. This conflict allowed Thailand to annex territories in Laos and Cambodia that had previously been ceded to France. A significant custom on this day involves the sale of red poppies, a symbol of peace and remembrance for those who died fighting for freedom. The proceeds from these sales are directed to support veterans and their families, highlighting the day’s focus on honoring those who served.
