How to Dress in Thailand

An interesting wartime poster depicting how the Thai citizen should dress, and what clothes were considered "improper". The images on the left hand side show what was viewed as "primitive" and undesirable, while the people on the right (with noticeable western dress) are showcased as wearing "proper" and "correct" outfits. This poster truly exemplifies just how westernized Thailand was becoming by the mid 20th century, despite still being the only Southeast Asian nation to never have been colonized by a European power.
