Skirts (Thailand)

Through the 2000s, skirts in the Thai campuses kept getting shorter. It certainly encouraged a lot of students to stay put in the university, continue on to do masters and more. Now that the skirts are getting longer, I can finally apply for that masters program, without worrying about too much competition.

Uniform shop in Nimman, Chiangmai.

Someone I know, who is no longer a student,is still a fan of these. Whenever we go for a walk, if she spots a uniform shop, she’ll drag me in to check out the latest trends. Below, I was dragged into another uniform shop, this time in Bangkok, in 2006.
