Why Choose Sabai Thai Dressing
Authentic Costumes
The collection features both Chut Thai Phraratchaniyom—the eight formal Thai dress styles developed in 1960 under Queen Sirikit's guidance—and regional Lanna costumes native to Northern Thailand. Lanna women's attire traditionally includes the Pha Sinh (tube skirt) paired with the Suea Pat (wrap blouse), crafted from locally-woven cotton and silk textiles.
Professional Styling
Experienced stylists provide makeup application and traditional Thai hairstyling. Each styling session considers the costume style, photo location, and individual preferences to create a cohesive presentation.
Expert Photography
Professional photographers accompany temple tours and photoshoot packages. Photographers understand optimal lighting conditions at Chiang Mai's temples and deliver edited digital photos within 3-5 days.
Convenient Location
Sabai Thai Dressing operates in Chiang Mai's Old Town, walking distance from Tha Phae Gate and major temples. The central location reduces travel time between the shop and popular photography locations.
Complete Experience
Beyond costume rental, Sabai Thai Dressing provides a full cultural immersion. Staff explain the history and significance of Thai traditional dress, proper wearing techniques, and temple etiquette during each visit.
