Exploring Thai Culture Through the Siamese Betta Fish (Pla Kat)

Our Thai culture class has recently been focusing on animals, and students were encouraged to learn about the Siamese Betta fish (Pla Kat). Pla Kat is an important national symbol of Thailand, representing resilience, beauty, and cultural heritage rooted in ancient traditions of fish fighting and selective breeding for vibrant colours. Students explored this rich history, created their own Pla Kat designs, and proudly presented their creations to the class.
