Monks in Burma/Myanmar wear maroon colored robes, whereas those in Thailand wear orange or saffron colored robes. I am not sure why there is a difference, apparently it is only recently that Burmese monks moved to the burgundy colored robes.
I liked the color of the maroon robes hanging out to dry provided a good contrast to the green walls of this monastery in Yangon
