Jong kraben pants sell like hot cake ahead of Songkran

 

 

Traders of Thai traditional costumes are all smiles these days, boasting of unprecedented brisk business, thanks to public’s addiction to the mega-hit TV drama series, Bupphasannivas (Love Destiny).

 

“Do you have Mae Karaked (lead female character) costumes?” is the most popular question asked by female shoppers, according to traders at Bobae market, one of the biggest ready-made garment wholesale and retail outlets in Bangkok.

 

Ms Pat Pothiya, a trader at Bobae Tower in Bobaemarket, said that many retailers came to the market to buy the traditional costumes at wholesale prices for sale ahead of the Songkran festival.

 

She said that the orders for jong kraben pants of the styles during the reigns of King Rama 5 and King Rama 7 were so overwhelming that manufacturers were unable to produce fast enough to meet the high demand.

That's too bad because I was hoping to get into some jong kraben pants this songkran.

This show what TV media can do to people 

Buy something you not need crazy 

But now where media so good please make a movie about driving safely and not getting angry in traffic meaby people will listen to that too

I swear to god, if I have to read only one more news story with a "Love Destiny" angle or about "traditional Thai dress" before the day is over, I am going to run amok, as this is getting highly annoying!

How do hot cake s sell? Do Thais eat hot cakes?   

Well, as they say: Nothing's eaten as hot as it's cooked - or in this case, baked.

Is it known which of Prayut's family members is the sole owner of the manufacturing company?

Just the pants? This could be fun if no tops,very traditional.

Good for Songkran, and in your home country, maybe Halloween..

It's a common practice at the King Narai Festival in Lopburi.
