Thai Chakraphat National Costume 🇹🇭

Named for Chakraphat Phiman Hall in the Grand Palace, Thai Chakraphat is formal evening attire that features a metal-thread brocade skirt with a front pleat. Its strapless bodice is concealed beneath a separate pleated shoulder cloth, with a second, embroidered shoulder cloth on top. This style of dress may be worn for formal banquets and official dinners.

 

Thai national and traditional costumes have strong influence towards the neighboring country Cambodia. Cambodia's traditional costumes was changed to be the style of Thailand after the year 2018 owing to the big hit of a Thai period drama showing ancient Thai costumes and culture; Bupphe Sanniwat or Love Destiny, in Cambodia.
