that it new trend Among the Chinese tourists visiting Thailand to go on vacation: Thai school uniform. The trend was sparked by photos on Instagram of Chinese pop star Gu Jingyi, according to a business owner who sells uniforms.

“Even before the pandemic, Thai school uniforms were very popular in China, but they lost their appeal during the lockdown,” said Yenjit Atsawaprichawong, owner of a school uniform shop in Banglamphu district of Bangkok, Thailand.
