I am so curious. | Emilyk Emily Post Count: 3 Msg: #2 769 days ago, July 31st 2006 | It's because it's the King's 60 b'day and the King was born on a Monday and the color for Monday is yellow. | Check this out for all the various days and colors http://www.id90.com/Thailand%20city%20review/Thailand_weekdays.htm LadyJuicy MP Post Count: 1 Msg: #3 762 days ago, August 7th 2006 | The King of Thailand has reigned Thailand for 60 years. To pay respect to the King, the people in Thailand wear the yellow shirts because the King was born on a Monday (as Emilyk said, the color for Monday is yellow). However, it is NOT because it is the King's 60th birthday. The King is much older than 60. (He was born in 1927). | For more information on this 60th year anniverssary, here's a link: http://60thcelebrations.com/english/index.php Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 3 | |||||||||||
