Following Prime Minister Paethongtarn Shinawatra’s promotion of Thai elephant pants recently, vendors across Chiang Mai are stocking up with glee in anticipation of great sales over the Songkran period.

Touting elephant pants as one of Thailand’s ‘soft powers’, the Prime Minister encouraged Thai people to wear these trousers, incorporating local patterns and designs into their production.

Vendors at Warorot Market say that they anticipate massive sales in the coming month.
