Pink clothing flies off the shelves as craze continues

The pink-shirt craze continued into its third day yesterday as crowds overwhelmed vendors around Siriraj Hospital and the eight Phu Fah shops in Bangkok.

People from all walks of life, particularly students, continued visiting Siriraj Hospital to wish a speedy recovery to HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana.

After writing get-well messages in a guest album, many of them checked out shops around the hospital where various styles of pink clothes were flying off the shelves in response to the growing popularity of the colour as an auspicious symbol of his His Majesty the King's health.

His Majesty left the hospital on Wednesday wearing a pink shirt and jacket.

At branches of Phu Fah, a chain under the patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, customers formed long queues from early in the morning to snap up the latest pink shirt with a logo designed by her.

The pink shirts sold out briskly.

The manager said the company would have 70,000 more when it restocked but perhaps only at the Siam Discovery and Sukhumvit Soi 7 branches.

The collection with the Princess' logo also comes in yellow, green, blue, purple, grey and white.

Yanyong Phuangrach, director-general of the Internal Trade Department, warned sellers that if they tried to charge more than Bt250 for cotton shirts and Bt350 for nano-fabric they would face legal action.
