Sinh (clothing)

Laotian women wearing sinhs

The Sinh (Lao: ສິ້ນ, [sȉn]; Thai: ซิ่น, RTGSsin, [sîn]; Tai Nuea: ᥔᥤᥢᥲ; Northeastern Thai: สิ้น, [sìn]), or commonly (Thai: ผ้าซิ่น, RTGSpha sin),[1] is a handmade traditional skirt, often made of silk, that are worn by Lao women[2] and Thai women, particularly northern Thai and northeastern Thai women. It is a tube skirt.[3] Its pattern can indicate which region the wearer is from. In present-day Thailand, pha sins are typically worn at special events. However, in Laos, Sinhs are worn more regularly in daily life.
