Why are tourists crazy over Thailand's 'elephant pants'?

‘Elephant pants’ can often be found throughout Thailand’s capital Bangkok in shops and markets.

When in Thailand, you can spot a tourist from afar by the “elephant pants” they’re probably wearing. If you want to dress in a way that screams “I’m a foreign backpacker” at locals, there’s no better choice.

Fashion is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to elephant-patterned trousers.
