Assumption University of Thailand (AU) paused on Thursday, October 9, 2025, to remember His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, the beloved monarch whose vision, humility, and lifelong devotion to the Thai people continue to shape the nation. Ceremonies were held at both the Suvarnabhumi Campus and the Hua Mak Campus, uniting faculty, staff, and students in solemn tribute.
At Suvarnabhumi Campus, the community gathered in the King’s Room of the Cathedral of Learning. The service opened with the laying of a wreath, followed by a remembrance speech. The ceremony concluded in stillness, as participants stood together for 89 seconds of silence, a symbolic gesture echoing the years of His Majesty’s reign.
Later in the afternoon, the tribute was mirrored at Hua Mak Campus, where members of the AU community assembled at Salle d’ Expo in Assumption Hall. Once again, the placing of the wreath and the remembrance speech marked the centerpiece of the ceremony, before the community bowed their heads in unison for another 89 seconds of silence.
