In Thailand, each day of the week is associated with a particular colour. In the past, many people would wear the colour associated with that day. It doesn’t happen so much now, but there are still signs of the old tradition to be found. The most noticeable of these is on Mondays where tourists will see many Thai people wearing yellow. The present Thai king was born on a Monday and wearing yellow on that day acknowledges the day on which he was born. The king’s flag is also yellow for the same reason.
Although the old tradition isn’t always maintained, most Thai people still know the colours associated with each day. The day of the week on which a person is born still retains importance in Thai culture and the associated colour will be considered their lucky colour. The colours associated with each day are listed below:
-
Monday = Yellow
Tuesday = Pink
Wednesday = Green
Thursday = Orange
Friday = Blue
Saturday = Purple
Sunday = Red
