Did people stop wearing black today?


Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if people in Bangkok stopped wearing black today. 

 

Specifically the middle class people that you see every morning in the Skytrain: was that a sea of color this morning?

 

Note: yes I know that people in the outskirts or construction workers etc have always worn whatever.  I'm asking specifically if there is a change in Bangkok business districts.  It was interesting to see that in my Chiang Mai office there's no change whatsoever and it's all still black or very muted colors.

According to Richard Barrows  Quote " Sunday is the last day for wearing black clothes. Monday wear muted colours. Tuesday wear clothes with any colours" unquote.

Grey polo and cream chinos were laid out by Wifey this morning, I'll see how she reacts to my fluorescent green shirt tomorrow (after all, she bought it for me).

And Thaivisa also does not "wear black" anymore.

Also seems that the other Thai online sources have gone back to normal image colors.

I haven't seen television today but should also be back in full color incl. the logos.

It's the official announced end of the mourning period.

 

The black/white cloth/ribbons on buildings will be removed, portraits of King Bhumibol that were specially set up for mourning will be removed. Normal portraits will of course remain.

 

First proof this morning was the ribbons removed at the village school. After more than a year and a long rainy season they were not a nice look anymore.

Thankfully the BTS advertising screens are back to normal!

And the "Grand Palace is closed" TukTuk scammers are also back to normal. :post-4641-1156693976:
