Thai costume



Evidence of early Thai costumes can be found in ancient sculptures and literature. The Thai people believed that dressing up in the right color would bring them good luck. This belief can be found in the poems of the Thai poet Soonthornphu, who lived in the Ayutthaya period. His poem entitled Sawatdiruksa, said that the color of clothing should be red on Sunday, white on Monday, violet and dark indigo on Tuesday, bright orange on Wednesday, green and yellow on Thursday, gray like the color of a rain cloud on Friday and black on Saturday. Good idea!)
