Here in Chiang Mai nobody is wearing yellow anymore, but I can imagine people still wear it in Bangkok? it used to be on monday all you saw was yellow... now today, i did a rough count eating lunch and it was a good 1/15-20 wearing yellow and that does not account for office workers who had no choice in the matter....

camerata Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Quite a few people are still wearing yellow shirts in Bangkok on Mondays. If it's less people than before it may be because shirt colours have now become highly politicized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaiGreg Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 In the same vein... why doesn't anyone wear "Kick Me" signs any more? Hilarious. If you wrote a blog I would read it. By the way, I see you are member # 65,937. My wife informs me that this is a very auspicious number. Yes, she is Thai. -NG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Seriously, you are right. I am in Pattaya and I do not see many at all. In past years and weeks yellow was very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debcmai Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Here in Chiang Mai my Thai co workers have informed me that the local government has banned the wearing of red or yellow shirts. Any other colors, fine. Also got a memo from my son's international school informing us not to dress the kids in either red or yellow during these days. Seems like a great idea to me...bravo to the local authorities for actually taking a step which may help local people stay alive and out of needless fights.

camerata Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I still see plenty of people wearing pink shirts on Tuesdays. After 3 years of wearing yellow and the PAD protests, the yellow shirts aren't sanuk anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 3 years of wearing yellow and the PAD protests, the yellow shirts aren't sanuk anymore. Initially, I thought the different coloured shirts were a tool to assist people to know which day of the week it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
