Yellow for King??

Many people in BKK today wearing yellow shirts. When I ask I am told "is for King"

Anyone know what this is about? I realize he has been sick. What does the yellow mean?

Yellow signifies the day he was born on.

Blue is the day the Queen was born.

In Thailand different colors represent different days of the week. Yellow is for Mondays, and Monday was the day on which His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej was born. Thus, yellow is his royal color.

Born on a Monday.Thanks for the link Nautilus.

I have the highest regard for His Majesty(I hope he is fully recovered soon)
and respect Thai culture,the thing is,I just really don't like wearing yellow shirts.
No disrespect intended,honest.
So does it have to be a shirt?Do some Thais just wear a little yellow,maybe a hat or a pair of socks to represent the same thing,or does it have to be the shirt?

Anybody else prefer not to wear yellow shirts because they're.....ummmm...............yellow?

I think I worked out once that I was born on Friday but I dont like Blue.

After checking the calendar though I have worked out it was a Monday, I knew I never liked Blue.

You have Blackpool FC, If I remember correctly maybe the Toronto Baseball team have some orange in their shirts or a Holland football shirt maybe the coolest.
