Not That Much Yellow Today?

[chanchao]

I saw an item on BBC World with the usual horde of yellow & pink, yet in Chiang Mai I didn't see much yellow at all; not more than usual anyways and perhaps less: as it was a holiday there were fewer middle class government, bank & office workers about, the prime 'yellow wearers league'.

How was it in other parts of Thailand? (Specifically outside of Bangkok) ?

I spent time running through the moobahns between Hang Dong and Chiang Mai, and almost all the Thais were wearing yellow.

Yeah, me too.. And the agro-fair at CMU.

According to Mrs E2B the Thai news was reporting the King saying that he was sick of yellow and had asked his subjects if they could please wear some other colour.

We watched a movie on HBO that we've seen a couple times before. Did check back to Thai TV a couple times. Of course in Bangkok, everyone wears yellow.

As the temperature here (North East) has dropped substantially recently all the Thais are now wearing coats, particularly mo-sai riders. So whether they were wearing yellow shirts underneath was difficult to determine.

I was around Future Park mall area yesterda, I was actually very surprised by the lack of yellow. But during the evening hours around the village when candles where being lit etc, everyone had yellow on.

Plenty of yellow around Thapae Gate including me in my bright yellow Gecko Books T shirt!

The yellow shirt may have still been out to dry after Monday.

According to my missus. Pink is the new yellow. You can heer the collective banging of heads against walls from all the shop keepers with loads of yellow shirts.

Central Bangkok probably 95% yellow. Top of my soi in Ari probably only about 70% - 80% though - not as much as I was expecting...

VERY intersting - cause I live in same area (nearby) and noticed the same thing. I wore it on the 'Day' expecting 'everyone' else would do same - not so. I don't know why - and I don't read anything into it..Just a similar observation.
