Not known to turn away sanook in any form, the Thais have been celebrating all year, taking this and that day off. As a mark of respect to their beloved King, they sport yellow shirts and tee’s.

Carl Fredrik Castberg

Into my 20’s, friends and family knew to wait until unwrapping time before presenting me with presents.
