Thailand celebrated King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 80th birthday Wednesday with festivities and prayers, and by wearing yellow -- the color that symbolizes devotion to the world's longest-reigning monarch.
Tens of thousands of people in yellow shirts, waving yellow flags, packed the streets around the Grand Palace in Bangkok, where Bhumibol made a rare public appearance from the balcony of his ceremonial Throne Hall -- only the sixth such appearance in his 61-year reign.
