It is played everyday at 8 am and 6 pm, and if people hear it while in the street or in a shop, they stop doing whatever they are doing and stand respectfully. However, I doubt that they stand up if they hear it at home. That's probably what happened with Puongpech Hej hej Holger :-)

My brother and I rose to our feet, but Nidnoi remained sitting.
I forgot to ask her if it is not usual in Thailand to stand during the National anthem?
Do you know Beaumont?
Greetings from solbjerg – Holger

It's all about showing, whether there is a deep significance or not, but I can tell Thai people are very happy when they notice me wearing the proper color, so I'm happy too.<br/><br/>And to be honest, I prefer seeing people wearing the same color and talking to each other, rather than people in blue wanting to kill people in red around a football stadium... ;-) You’re right, and we can add that Thai people are used to wear uniforms (schoolkids, students, civil servants, many employees and shop assistants, security staff…), so they do it willingly.

It's funny to read about your opinion on the "yellow" polo shirt. I don't own one and never intend to buy one. To me, there is no point band wagoning in this fad. Actually, a lot of people wear it because it is convenient and versatile for every occasion. Hi I am one of the Thai freelang translator.
