FROM THE PUBLISHER<br />

Susie Hernandez<br />

Last month, I attended a reception honor<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> 60th anniversary of <strong>the</strong> reign of K<strong>in</strong>g Bhumibol<br />

Adulyadej of Thailand. Many of <strong>the</strong> attendees wore yellow shirts out of respect. Traditionally, yellow<br />

corresponds to Monday, <strong>the</strong> day upon which <strong>the</strong> k<strong>in</strong>g was born and, hence it is his birth color. By<br />

wear<strong>in</strong>g yellow, <strong>the</strong> Thai people demonstrate <strong>the</strong>ir allegiance to <strong>the</strong>ir k<strong>in</strong>g. As a result, yellow is <strong>the</strong><br />

new black <strong>in</strong> Thailand this season, and yellow shirts are <strong>in</strong> very short supply.<br />

This month, <strong>Yellow</strong> Magaz<strong>in</strong>e’s travel article transports you to Thailand to convey unto you a sense<br />

of its essence and spirit. As you can see, I, too, am wear<strong>in</strong>g a yellow shirt to honor K<strong>in</strong>g Bhumibol<br />

Adulyadej. Please jo<strong>in</strong> me <strong>in</strong> congratulat<strong>in</strong>g him on this momentous occasion and for be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />

longest reign<strong>in</strong>g monarch <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> world, today.<br />
