Writing this though Denim, I wonder if there are any Thai ladies one could convince today; in 2561 - that "period costumes" originated in Transylvania - a hundred years ago?

Popular Post GarryP Posted March 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2018 Actually those Thai style pants are a perfect fit. Their inherent bagginess successfully hide Prawit and Co'.s adult diapers. It should become the national costume of the Junta, but please leave the rest of us alone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, can i say that ? ( Which wasn't that long ago) You may well have a point. The adoption of western dress was a royal initiative to modernise the country in the face of the western colonial threat, and went along with the abolition of slavery, polygamy, and prostration before the King. So in the Thai mind they may well be linked, albeit at a subconcious level. I'm sure the Amart look back fondly on the old days, which might explain this sudden passion for traditional dress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonhia Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 National pride can, sometimes, be a good thing, but considering past events carried out by an unelected dictator, who forcibly rules the nation, I tend to consider his statement, as yet another slap on the faces of most Thais. Yet more indoctrination comes to mind. What next? When and how should people breath? OK, an exaggerated statement, but the point is, people want Democracy. What to wear is far from important. If he cared about national pride, then maybe he should consider giving the people what they really want, not what he thinks they want? Just a thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
