Are they too tight?
Skinny pants have become highly popular among young Thai people. Many Thai rock stars, such as Toon Bodyslam, likes to wear this style of pants. However, if one is familiar with the world of fashion, one will know that trends change fast. A decade ago, flare leg pants were popular. Now skinny pants are popular. Who knows 10 years from now, what kind of pants will be popular.
Korean TV series
Among many other things that we received from Korean culture, TV series is the most popular. A lot of Thai have turned away from Thai soap opera to TV series from South Korea. This is significant because when we watch a TV series, we learn and receive their culture. For example, Korean hairstyle is now a trend among Thai teenagers. People think they only watch a film, while in fact, they absorb others' culture.
Smart-phones
Phone has become an important part of our life. More specifically, smart-phones are the latest trend. A smart-phone is more than a just phone. It can play musics and videos, display pictures, surf the web and provide gaming experience. In Thai culture, smart-phones have never been more popular. It is so very common to see people carrying smart-phones. Smart-phones have become part of our culture.

Too early?
No matter how many things have changed in Thai society, the faith of Thai people in religions has not. In the picture, a Thai boy is presenting food to a monk. In Thai, it is called Tak Baht. This service is always practice in the morning. It is believed that whoever practices this, will receive merit.
Let's drink and ride
In the picture above, a man is riding a modified motorcycle. In Thailand, the habit of coffee drinking has come and blossomed some years ago. It created a new culture affected from the top to the bottom of the society. Nowadays, people are able to buy cups of coffee virtually from anywhere; Starbucks, Coffee World, or this "coffee-cycle".
