One thing we have noticed since arriving is that the Thai really.....that's a REALLY...love their king. The past week was the king's birthday and every Monday is the king's day and everyone wears yellow in honor of him. In addition, you can sport your "I love the king" buttons and shirts or simply carry around a giant laminated photo of him in various stages of his life. There's the "king helping children" photo, the "king sweating profusely as he hands out aid" photo, and my personal favorite"the king feeding his dog" laminated placemat. They really love the guy.
One of the best things about loving the king is being able to pick out your wardrobe each day based on what color you wear to support him. Monday is yellow but we also have "blue Tuesday" and "pink Wednesday". After the rain came for a month it was easy to buy a new wardrobe to replace our moldy clothes. We have a lot of blue, yellow, and pink.
