Editing Father's Day (section)

===Thailand===
In [[Thailand]], Father's Day is observed on 5 December, the birthday of the late King [[Bhumibol Adulyadej]] (Rama IX).<ref name="smiles" /> In Thailand, Father's Day, as well as Mother's Day, are national public holidays. Traditionally, Thais celebrate by giving their father or grandfather a [[Canna (plant)|canna]] flower ({{Langx|th|ดอกพุทธรักษา|translit=Dok Buddha Raksa|label=none}}), which is considered a masculine flower; however, this is not as commonly practiced today. Thai people will wear yellow on this day to show respect for the late king, because yellow is the [[color of the day]] for Monday, the day King Bhumibol Adulyadej was born. Thais flood the [[Sanam Luang]], a massive park in front of the palace, to watch the king give his annual speech, and often stay until the evening when there is a national ceremony. Thais will light candles and show respect to the king by declaring their faith. This ceremony happens in almost every village in Thailand, and even overseas at Thai organizations.<ref>{{Cite web|date=4 December 2019|title=King Bhumibol's Birthday and Father's Day in Thailand|url=https://www.expique.com/article/fathers-day-kings-birthday-thailand/|access-date=26 June 2020|website=Experience Unique Bangkok}}</ref>
