Clothing for a Special Occasion
Men and women in Laos where a Pha Biang - or shoulder cloth on special occasion. The male version seems to be checked cotton.
However the female versions are ornate embroidered silk.
These were seen this morning, worn by guests to a special breakfast "alms giving" ceremony at our apartment. It was associated with our land lady's son's going into the monastery for a week.
