Hello
I know Monday everybody wears yellow because of the King's birthday, and Friday because the Queen was born on a Friday but what about the rest of the days? Who came with the idea of using colors? I am giving a speech in my class tomorrow and I need some info about this.... thanks

Each day of the week is associated with a color. So they day of the week that you were born on decides "your color". The King was born on a Monday, so as a show of respect, everyone wears his color on Monday. The Queen was born on Friday, so people wear blue on Fridays.
Monday - Yellow
Tuesday - Pink
Wednesday - Green
Thursday - Orange
Friday - Blue
Saturday - Purple
Sunday - Red

In front of my Mother-in-Law's house, she has a normal Thai flag with the blue,red,white stripes, and another yellow flag showing respect to HM King. She has like 20 yellow shirts and will wear them everyday in celebration of HM King's 60th anniversary of His ascension to the Throne. Also, HM King's birthday is on a Monday, the color of Yellow. But she's wearing a yellow shirt everyday, which shows a lot of dedication and seems pretty cool to me.

Yellow is the Kings color it is worn on any occasion honoring the King, Blue is the color for the Queen And is worn on the days honoring the Queen ,Many people wear yellow on Mondays and blue on Fridays. You can dress as you please on any day it is not mandatory Thai's are most respectful of the Royal family
