Thailand –
Today, December 5th is Father’s Day and the birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), or so-called “The Father of the Nation”. The day is also observed as a national holiday where Thai people would show their gratitude to their fathers for the contribution and dedication they make to their children’s lives.
Traditionally, a flower called canna lilies or small gifts are given to their father by their children to celebrate and show respect to all fathers. Thai people are encouraged to wear yellow clothes, which represents the late King’s symbolized color, as a mark of respect.
