The Thai men’s national costume is known as suea phraratchathan, meaning the royally bestowed shirt. Usually worn to royal ceremonies, this costume has incorporated itself to weddings as well.
The shirt shares the appearance of the Nehru jacket and has a Mandarin collar 3.5 to 4 centimetres in height. The shirt comes in three varieties: short-sleeved, long-sleeved, and long-sleeved with a sash which range from the least to most formal, respectively. The shirt sports two outer pockets at the front and is worn with trousers.
