In Thailand, Mother’s Day is celebrated on Aug. 12 to coincide with the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit as the queen is also regarded as a mother to all Thai people.
Held each year at Thailand schools, the mother - exclusive event includes a ceremony that gives students a solemn moment to offer flowers to their moms, symbolizing their love and gratitude.
While it is an especially touching tradition, it often leaves some children without moms feel somewhat excluded.
