It may look ridiculous to you & perhaps regular Thais as well, but in the old days, that traditional style of Thai headgear may served everday purposes.

Once upon a time, the Chinese men used to have a long ponytail & half shaven head, sure as heck ridiculous in this day & age, while the Borneo dayaks used to collect their enemy heads for collection.

But that was in the olden times, so it seems ridiculous to new 21st century generation.

That was Manchurian ethnic look, the pigtail and bald heads!

I feel like an idiot for expecting someone to have a giant leaf with a rubber band around their head holding it on. icon_redface.gif rotflmao.gif

The "hat" part is cut off from the title on the main board.
