Thai people nationwide have been urged to display the national flag together with a yellow flag which has the royal ceremonial emblem marking the 84th birthday anniversary of His Majesty the King. Yellow represents the color of Monday, the birthday of His Majesty the King.
For Thai people, the 7th cycle, or 84th, birthday anniversary is an important milestone in life and a special celebration is usually arranged on this occasion. In order to pay tribute to His Majesty, the Government has set the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011 for the celebrations of His Majesty’s 84th birthday.
As part of the celebrations, students from Sriwittayapaknam School in Samut Prakan are seen here distributing flags to people in the local community. They handed out flags carrying the royal emblem as well as national flags to each household. Now many houses near this school are flying these two flags.
