Costume
|
 Traditional
costume of the central plains is based on the styles of the Ayutthaya
era, over 200 years ago.
Although
the ankle-length tube-skirt is the most popular style for women,
the older generation still wear 'jong krabane'; a kind of skirt
that is gathered, rolled and threaded between the legs.
In
the home, women wear a sleeved blouse or 'suea kor kra chout' -
a kind of casual blouse made from knitted yarn and cotton.
The
most popular clothing for men are the loose long or three-quarter
length cotton pants called 'ka kuey'. These comfortable, airy trousers
are tied in a knot at the waist.
