Every year 26 June is celebrated in the Kingdom as Sunthorn Phu Remembrance Day. Festivities traditionally take place in the Suthorn Phu Memorial Park in Klaeng District, Rayong.
A royal poet in the reign of Rama II, Sunthorn Phu left enormous legacy and his poetry is still very popular and often recited by Thai people.
One of his most famous quotes says, "In time of great love even the soup of bitter vegetable is sweet, but when love becomes stale even sugar is bitter."
