Today (December 5th) is the King's birthday in Thailand -- a very special day for the Thai people.
There are many public events around the country, with people wearing the King's birthday colour (yellow) and many more posters and photographs on display.
Some of my Thai friends changed their Facebook cover and profile pictures to honour the King (see below).
The day started very quietly here in Chiang Mai -- at 7.30am, it was as quiet as Christmas Day in the UK. By lunchtime, there were traffic jams and from then on there were events and people everywhere.
Music composed by the King is played in Chiang Mai
