Im farang...but I miss Thailand so much. I love to be in Lumpini park when they play the Anthem, and I never want to be late to a movie becuase I love the King and pay respect during the Royal Anthem.

Played at 8AM and 6PM! It is how we show our pride for our nation!

Also why are there yellow shirts there 555+

@DefenderOfThaiFaith

since no-one else answered your question: this is most likely filmed on a monday. Some years ago it was most common for a Thai to wear yellow color in order to honor the king who was born on a monday.

@DefenderOfThaiFaith Especially at the king's birthday celebrations you'd find practically no-one on the streets wearing any other color, but after the occupation of the airports in 2008 they changed that to pink, because the yellow color was now linked with the PAD/Democratic Party, but you'll still find quite a lot of people wearing yellow on mondays (including me).
