On July 3, 2025, Walailak University held its annual Teacher Appreciation Ceremony (Wai Khru), a tradition where students show respect and gratitude to their teachers. Over 1,500 students and faculty attended the warm and heartfelt event. This year marked the debut of the “Phet Walailak” Award, presented to a student with outstanding achievements in at least five different activity areas during the 2024 academic year. The inaugural award was presented to Mr. Afanee Moonsap, a fifth-year student from the School of Pharmacy. Additional awards were also given to students who excelled in leadership, academics, arts and culture, and community service.
