Commemorations
The wearing of royal-yellow T-shirts to celebrate the occasion is a voluntary joint expression of the Thai people (although in some organizations it has become mandatory), and as the main celebration period of June 9–13 approached, shirts bearing the special emblem for the celebration rapidly sold out. The Commerce Ministry ordered another 500,000 to meet demand. In the weeks that followed the celebration, many people still wore their yellow shirts.
Also popular are orange rubber wristbands, similar to the Livestrong wristbands, that say "We love the King."
Photographs of the ceremonies are also popular. The Royal Household Bureau has set up a photo lab specifically to fill orders for official images, and on Bangkok's streets there are vendors selling copies of the photos of the king and the visiting royals. Also, newspapers such as the Bangkok Post and The Nation report brisk sales of commemorative publications.
