Overview

In this brief age when King Taksin reunified the country, dress kept to the Ayutthaya tradition as its basis.

Key garments and style

People still wore the chong kraben and the sabai. The court sought to recover the workshops and weaving skills lost in the war.

Transition

When the Rattanakosin (Chakri) Kingdom rose in 1782, this tradition passed to the court of the new capital, Bangkok, and later met the age of Westernisation.
