Thailand: December 5
In Thailand, a single day is observed as a three-in-one celebration for the King’s Birthday, Father’s Day, and National Day. Born on December 5, King Bhumipol Adulyadej is the world’s longest serving head of state. It's hard to overestimate the reverance that the people of Thailand have for their monarch, as he is a symbol of the nation and its continuity, as well as a father figure. On this day, many gather to feed monks, give flowers to their fathers and grandfathers, and wear yellow - the King's colour.
