The Thai people love their 81 yr old King. Everywhere you look there are posters and shrines to the King. Evidently on Mondays they wear yellow to show respect to their leader.
No one is allowed to tour the Grand Palace grounds and view the Emerald Budda without proper attire. This means no shorts, tank tops etc. Your knees and shoulders must be covered. Hence the skirts and pants that they loaned use at entrance.
The guard didn't move a muscle or even look at us when we took his picture. The gate in the background is ajar and the building is the King's home. No one is allowed in that area.
