Every Saturday

Saturday is purple (Thailand)

Saturday is purple, the colour of Saturn, and the colour of Queen Suthida, who was born on a Saturday.

The colours of Saturday is purple (Thailand)

Saturday is the day of Phra Sao, the god of the planet Saturn, and its colour is purple; older lists give black. Queen Suthida was born on a Saturday, so purple flags fly for her birthday on 3 June. Saturday's Buddha image sits in meditation, sheltered by the hood of the serpent king Naga. The full set of seven colours is taught to Thai children as a rhyme, and is still visible in small ways: in the shirts some offices and schools ask staff to wear on certain days, in the colour of flags for royal birthdays, and in the cloth tied round sacred trees and spirit houses.
