GuestHouse Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Is this the end..... of ordinary people wearing Yellow on a Monday and has what was once wearing a mark of respect for a loved monarch now become a political symbol many will not want to be associated with?

jasreeve17 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 It's unclear - they've not been popular the last couple of days, but next Monday the masses will likely stick to yellow, or go to blue, pink... Certainly, the yellow shirts will come out on the 5th, in huge numbers - tens of millions, literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassienie Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yes, I’m afraid PAD have stolen the real meaning of what the yellow shirts stand for and made it their own. The same scenario as with the Union Jack and the nazi British National Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 The staff and many at work always wore yellow on Monday, but no longer have for some time now. I feel you are right and that the meaning unfortunately has shifted, at least for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasabi Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I have noticed a decline in yellow shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonrakers Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) I have noticed this too. But I think that it is only temporary, and nothing to do with the colour being hijacked. Rather they just don't want to be mistaken for PAD and get caught up in all of this crap. I wonder how many people (especially Thai's) feel about wearing red in the North in regards to their safety.

JetsetBkk Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Yes. Perhaps we should turn this into a poll? The result might surprise jdinasia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmsally Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 In Chiang Mai unadvisable to wear a yellow shirt and many don't wear red as they wish to appear neutral but in fact do support (red). Many schools have been advising to avoid wearing both yellow and red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Yes.Perhaps we should turn this into a poll? The result might surprise jdinasia. Why would a poll on here surprise me? People would tend to respond along preconceived notions .. and it would not be indicative of reality for Thai people Take a look on Monday .. then again on the 5th to see the answer. Sally, why would people hide being a "red" in CNX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed on the last couple of Mondays that there haven't been so many yellow shirts around. Next Friday is special and nearly everybody will be wearing yellow but, for most, it won't be indicating any allegiance to the PAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam4ever Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I've thrown out all my yellow shirts! It's just not my color anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidoriApple Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Yes ka, I also avoid wearing red as well.. Frightened of being hit or attacked... (edit for: grammar's correction) Edited November 28, 2008 by MidoriApple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutai Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Don't think that mob will change a tradition that goes back at least 400 years - even although it maybe temporarily suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijustwannateach Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I would have to concur, being an observer of Bangkok rush hour most days of the week, that yellow-shirt-wearing has seriously declined on Mondays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
