Sinh (clothing)
Thailand clothing
The Sinh (Lao: ສິ້ນ, Lao pronunciation: [sȉn]; Thai: ซิ่น, RTGS: sin, Thai pronunciation: [sîn]; Tai Nuea: ᥔᥤᥢᥲ), or commonly (Thai: ผ้าซิ่น, RTGS: pha sin),[1] is a handmade traditional skirt, often made of silk, that are worn by Lao women[2] and Thai women, particularly northern Thai and northeastern Thai women. It is a tube skirt.[3] Its pattern can indicate which region the wearer is from. In present-day Thailand, pha sins are typically worn at special events. However, in Laos, Sinhs are worn more regularly in daily life.
