The 80th anniversary of The Little Prince in Thailand

Two major events have been organised in Thailand in 2023 by the great connoisseur Supoj Lokunsombat in honour of The Little Prince's 80th birthday: the first in Pattani from 16 to 13 September and the second in Chiang Mai from 9 to 16 December.

Highlights of the two events include: an exhibition of more than 300 books, lectures on "Knowing and Loving The Little Prince" and "The Little Prince: Mystery of Life, Genius of Language" by university lecturers, creative learning activities to develop pupils' life skills using The Little Prince, Little Prince drawing workshops, writing competitions, readings of The Little Prince in different languages, a reading for visually impaired children and even theatre performances. 

These events were very well received thanks to the support of the Jean-Marc Probst Foundation for Le Petit Prince, Songklanakarin University in Pattani, the Alliance française in Chiang Mai, and the publisher The Cloud, a well-known online magazine in Thailand.

We should also note the interest of the French Embassy with the presence of the Consul General and Ambassador Jean-Claude Poimboeuf who came to visit the exhibition in Chiang Mai.
