webfact Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 The Ministry of Culture is gearing up to propose the inclusion of Thai traditional dress in UNESCO‘s prestigious intangible cultural heritage listings. The visionary behind this move is none other than Kowit Pakamart, the director-general of the Department of Cultural Promotion. To pave the way for this historic proposal, the department recently orchestrated a vibrant brainstorming session at the Thailand Cultural Centre. Here, key players involved in a project dedicated to compiling information on Thai traditional costumes gathered to shape the narrative of Thailand’s rich cultural tapestry. Kowit, the driving force behind this initiative, passionately expressed the unparalleled uniqueness of Thai traditional dresses. He highlighted their distinctive designs and materials, showcasing an unparalleled craftsmanship that mirrors the diverse regions of the nation. by Mitch Connor Photo courtesy of Thai Style Studio 1984 Full story: The Thaiger 2023-12-22 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

From their etiquette at the royal court, customs, dance, dress, muay Thai , temple designs, personal names, towns/ cities, festivals and everything else in between. It's has some or entire elements from those two cultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) They’ll have khao pat on the list next if they haven’t already. 😋 To be fair the ladies do look good when attired in traditional garb. I do, however, prefer the Vietnamese ao dai in white look. Edited January 4 by daveAustin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
