BANGKOK: Twenty-year-old Porn has bought a new top, a spaghetti-strap blouse, and plans to wear it on Songkran day. She is no big fan of this kind of top but for the upcoming fun-filled festival, it's a very practical choice. For one, it's highly suitable for any watery battlefield: the top gets soaked and dries easily.
To Porn, wearing such a top is not a big deal for her because it'll be just another day that the young lady will be in sai diao (or “one strap,” the Thai name for spaghetti-strap).
