Long live the King

On Monday's in Thailand, you will see a flood of people wearing yellow shirts just like this one. Monday is yellow shirt day in honour of Thailand's King (the longest living serving Monarch in the world). Other days have other colours - Tuesday for example is pink shirt day, but the yellow shirt is the Thai's favourite as the King has almost God like status in Thailand. A fellow student read the Thai writing on my shirt this week and he said it was commemorating the King's 80th birthday with the hope - long live the King. Our hope is that one day many Thai will know the King of not just Thailand but of the whole world and everything in it.
