The Thai Embassy in Tokyo has introduced Thai-styled clothing colours to Japanese netizens, claiming that they bring good fortune.
The Embassy’s X account states in Japanese that, in Thailand, each day of the week has a specific colour. People who choose to wear clothes according to the colour of the day are believed to be lucky in work, love, money and family.
Some people’s lucky colour is the day of the week on which they were born.
The embassy also explains that Sunday’s lucky colour is red, Monday’s is yellow, Tuesday’s is pink, Wednesday’s is green, Thursday’s is orange, Friday’s is light blue and Saturday’s is purple.
It posted two tables detailing lucky colours from two Thai fortune tellers.
The Facebook page, ‘Japan Guide Book’, shared the information, emphasising that this represents a part of Thailand’s soft power that might be of interest to Japanese people.
It also mentioned that the Embassy’s X account has recently featured content about Thai culture in Japanese, with the aim of helping the Japanese to gain a better understanding of Thailand.
