Thank you Stan for sharing images from your part of the world. I visited Bangkok in 1987. (Twas in another lifetime...) Great Pictures...love the saffron robes.
Thanks to: Kim; Uniforms are a kind of status symbol, that people here respect. Photowannabe; I tried to show how thet don't make everyone look the same.
Uniforms are useful in a way. It makes one part of a group, but it depends what sort of group it is. Sometimes it's a means of oppression and humiliation, like the clothes prisoners have to wear. I am sure that the uniforms you showed are more used for practical reasons. I like the colourful dresses of the women in the third photo!
They do come in a great many forms.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nessa; Perhaps 'Multiforms' would have been more appropriate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post for the day, Stan! I love it! And what fun shots! Hope your week is going well! Enjoy!

Thanks Sylvia; Uniforms for work, rest and play.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda; Parts of the city have changed a lot since '87.
ReplyDeleteThat is what you can see in the Philippines too. Even if you are working at a government or private office they all wear uniforms which I do like it.
