We received these beautiful jackets as a gift from Bunyoung. He is one of the Monks we met at the local Wat. He returned to Thailand for a two month visit and brought the jackets back for us. Note the crest on the pocket. It is a crest that honors the King of Thailand. A very popular color for shirts with this crest is yellow. However, the King recently was discharged from the hospital and came out wearing a pink jacket. It looks as though the king's color may be changing soon. Or maybe we will now have two colors to choose from to show our appreciation for the King.
A close-up of the crest that we think represents the royal house of Thailand. It is beautifully embroidered and brilliantly colored.
Each time we wear our jackets we will be thinking of the kindness and warmth we found in the Augusta, GA Thai community.
