Trend color in Thailand..what is the point of it?

Since last week, in Thailand people have been favor of PINK T-shirt.
That because this color believed to be an auspicious color for the king's 80th year.
My king has just checked out of a hospital after experiencing weakness on the right side of his body and was admitted to hospital since mid-october.

I am in England, far from my country, when I knew the news it was kinda shocked. He is a beloved king and we don't want anything bad to happen to him.
Now I am happy that he leaves hospital.

One thing that I am prond to be Thai is that I have the greatest king. I can not explain how his greatest is. But in conclusion, he is a hard-working king for his people. Everything he does, he does it for Thais. We are really blessed by him.

When I know that PINK will give luck and auspicious to him..I thought of wearing pink, just like many Thais. In Thailand pink became fashion trend. In cloth market, there is high demand of PINK t-shirt becaus everyone wants to wear it for tribute to the king.

It has been Yellow that set the trend in Thai fashion for year since celebration of his 6oth year to the throne. This december we will celebrate his 80th birthday with PINK..

But...this morning the color trend changes again. News website in Thailand reports that since yesterday that the king visit his sister in the hospital wearing green, people start looking for green t-shirt. So today, green t-shirt became best seller. What is this all about? We are crazy about color? I am not offense that but I don't see the point of doing that.

from pink to green...to show that we love and care our king?

No, I don't think so.

Color is just a color, but what we do is more improtant. The king has been teaching us many good things. How many people follow his brilliant advice? How many people start living their lives according to his SUFFICIENCY ECONOMY Theory
Have people stop cheating and diry fighting in politic? Have influencial people and politician start thinking of doing good for country without corruption? That's what the king want us to do? How many people do that? Doing something good, isn't it the best way to tribute our love from the king?

We'd better start thinking of it again, the way to express our repect and love for the king.
