I started out wondering why store holders were selling yellow-coloured t-shirts. On 5 Dec, we received a note under our hotel door. It mentioned about the King's birthday and that the people of Thailand will come together to celebrate this memorable day.

The celebrations in the hotel was a bit muted comparing to the waving of flags, and the excited crowd as what I saw on a television broadcast from Bangkok.

The start time of this event was strictly adhered to. If I remember correctly, it's 7.32pm. It was then followed by the singing of patriotic songs.
