Thai fisherman pants

The Thai fisherman's trousers ( Thai : กางเกง เล ; ISO - transliteration : kāngkeng le ; pronunciation in IPA : [ kaːŋkeːŋ leː ]; Burmese : ရှမ်း ဘောင်းဘီ ; pronunciation in IPA: [ ʃá̃ báʊ̃ bì ]) are wrap-around pants that are mainly worn in Southeast Asia . The trousers are understood as a unisex garment and are mainly found in Thailand , but also in Laos and Cambodia as well as in eastern areas of Myanmar .

Although fisherman's trousers used to be made in one size only, it is now possible to buy longer trousers. The traditional fisherman's trousers usually reach down to the calf of a man in these regions. Some craft businesses in Thailand have adjusted to the fact that tall Europeans are increasingly wearing their products. The width of the pants is adjusted using a specific wrapping technique. So it always adapts to the body. It is mainly made from cotton , but also from rayon . The wrap pants are also popular with backpackers in the countries concerned.
