UTHAI SAWAN, Thailand — About 200 people gathered in the small northeastern town of Uthai Sawan on Friday for a quiet ceremony marking the one-year anniversary of Thailand’s deadliest mass killing.
Officials and residents from Uthai Sawan and neighboring communities in Nong Bua Lamphu province, which sits in one of Thailand’s poorest regions, donned colorful traditional clothes Friday at a Buddhist ceremony. They offered food for a dozen monks and prayed together at the local administrative office, which sits close to the now-empty building that used to house the day care center. The center’s operations have since been moved to a school a few kilometers away.
After the ceremony, a few attendees went to the abandoned child care building and placed food and beverage offerings at the front — an act that pays respect with the hope to send food and blessings to those who died. The 24 preschoolers who lost their lives were attacked while taking their afternoon nap, and photos taken by first responders showed their tiny bodies still lying on blankets. In some images, slashes to the victims’ faces and gunshot wounds in their heads could be seen.

A modest Buddhist ceremony marks the anniversary of a day care center massacre in ThailandA quiet ceremony has been attended by about 200 people in a small town in northeastern Thailand marking the one-year anniversary of the country's deadliest mass killing. Attendees at Friday’s remembrance ceremony donned colorful traditional clothes for Buddhist religious rites. On Oct. 6, 2022, a fired police sergeant killed 36 people, including two dozen toddlers at a day care center in Uthai Sawan town. The shocking gun and knife attack spurred calls for tighter gun controls. Thailand has one of the highest rates of gun ownership and gun-related deaths in Asia. The calls for change faded with time, but were dramatically revived this week when a teenager with a handgun shot dead two people and wounded five others in an upscale mall in the capital, Bangkok.
