Kanchanaburi: The opening ceremony of the cafeteria building “Thai Water Pipe 62 Years, Memorial to Mother Nuanphen Phatralaoha” took place at Wat Tha Ruea School “Utsaha Witthayakhan” in Tha Ruea Phra Taen Municipality, Kanchanaburi Province.

According to Thai News Agency, Colonel Dr. Yanyong Phatralaoha, Executive Director of Thai Water Pipe Industry Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, presided over the ceremony.

The “Thai Water Pipe 62 Years” cafeteria building was constructed with support from Thai Water Pipe Industry Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries to honor Khun Mae Nuanphen Phatralaoha.

Before its construction, the school lacked a dedicated cafeteria, using Wat Tha Ruea’s meditation hall for meal preparations and dining. The new cafeteria aims to improve health and hygiene, essential for student learning.
