King Sparks Pink Shirt Fever in Thailand
|
|
|
|
For about two years, Thais have shown their respect for the monarch by wearing yellow — the color that in Buddhist tradition symbolizes Monday, the weekday he was born. That fashion statement began during the 2006 celebrations of Bhumibol's 60th anniversary on the throne.
But it looks like pink is becoming the new yellow for Thais.
There was already a trend toward pink because astrologers had declared it an auspicious color for the king's 80th year. A royal emblem, using pink among other colors, was specially designed for his birthday.
But Bhumibol's appearance in pink attire has spurred interest in the new color.
