Emblem designed by Mr. Sawaat Phunsawat (นายสวาสติ์ พูลสวัสติ์), which was the winning design of a drawing competition organized for the occasion, and which consists of a stylized phaan phum, i.e. the offering normally used to pay respect to teachers on Wan Kruh and which is here depicted as a tray with the Thai number 100 (๑๐๐) shaped in the form of −and underneath a larger− phum, which pear-shaped outline is in turn derived from that of a lotus bud, one of the flowers offered to teachers on Wan Kruh Haeng Chaht.
