The johng kraben, a traditional Thai sarong-like lower garment from the past, is still occasionally worn today. It can be seen on hotel staff (fig.) and, as shown here, the cabin crew of Bangkok Airways.

The edge of the garment is passed between the legs and tucked at the wearer’s lower back, giving it a shape more like loose pants than a skirt. Historically, it was the everyday attire of the upper and middle classes in Thailand.
