MrJohnson Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I don't wear yellow anything. I don't like the colour and feel no need to 'demonstrate' publicly my respect or allegiances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morakot Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Any foreigner wearing it now, is basically a Dill. Bearing in mind the subject matter, you should be very careful with your choice of words, even if you do not agree. Exactly! Please show some manners MrToad. The correct wording is Anethum graveolens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Traveller Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) People stopped wearing yellow shirts when the yellow shirt nonsense started at the airport. I agree that fewer people seem to wear yellow shirts on Monday, but I doubt if this has anything to do with the political "yellowshirts". However, since I'm living in south Thailand, where the support is generally for the "yellow shirts", I'm not able to test out my claim. Strange that I wear this yellow shirt but am a "red shirt" supporter.... I remember several years ago everyone in the office where I worked deliberatley stopped wearing yellow and red for no other reason than the fact they did not want to be associated with the political street violence. That mostly has continued until today. Edited November 26, 2014 by Time Traveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the contrary, this post shows how good Thailand is at making all fashion classic items look horrid This thread is about the SHIRT NOT POLITCS If you are trying to talk politics using shirts as metaphors you are OFF TOPIC The OP is, "This is a topic that has been discussed on several occasions over the years. Please bear in mind the subject matter before you post. Today (Monday), I wore a yellow shirt. I usually do on Monday. My appearance is warmly greeted by Thai people whom I meet today. It seems to me that not so many Thais wear yellow on Mondays, (compared to 10 years ago). But what about Johnny Foreigner? Do you wear a yellow shirt on Monday?" Why did Thais wear yellow shirts on Mondays until the airport was occupied and why did they stop wearing them after the airport was occupied. Did you also wear a yellow shirt on Mondays before the airport was occupied and stop wearing a yellow shirt on Mondays after the airport was occupied? That is the topic. The thread is about shirt color and why politics changed Thai behavior to stop wearing yellow shirts on Mondays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 In my entire life I have never owned or worn anything yellow. A quick glance around the house and I see nothing yellow ....or lime green ...........or pink. If people want to color code their life there is no harm in it , no virtue in it either.
