A tuk-tuk taxicab speeds by three large portraits of King Bhumibol in Bangkok, Thailand during the September 2006 coup. The woman in the cab is wearing a yellow shirt to pay homage to the King on the day of his birth (Monday) by wearing his color (yellow). Thais are famously loyal to their beloved King and every Monday of the week Thai cities, towns and villages are full of people wearing yellow.
