The main principal behind Thai university uniforms just like any kind of student uniform is to create an equality among students. This is essential in Thailand because of the huge gap between the rich and the poor. However the idea of a plain white shirt, black skirt and brown belt has been taken to the extreme my many female Thai students! They have managed to turn it into a fashion competition!! It’s not surprising that then that Thai university uniforms have been voted the sexiest in the world!
It’s no secret that Thai girls are a big attraction for foreigners visiting Thailand. And unless you have actually been to Thailand, in particular Bangkok, it’s hard to believe that there are girls dressed like this everywhere you look!
Teaching a class full of girls dressed like this can be a challenge for any man! It’s also a reason why some teachers want to teach in Thai universities!
Thai culture is very conservative (although you would be completely unaware of this from a westerners perspective) and each year there are complaints about Thai university uniforms, in particular the length of the skirts and the tightness of the shirts! These modern day uniforms are definitely not what was in mind when Thai university uniforms were designed all those years ago!
Still, I’m not complaining and I’m sure most of the foreigners living and working in Bangkok aren’t complaining either!
