And many with a hat that you no longer see now in Thailand but still in Vietnam.

A century ago such style was worn nearly everywhere in SouthEast Asia, also by falangs, white, gray or green .

I have it in my memory as I had above my bed in our weekend house hanging a picture of a young boy with such a hat somewhere in Asia. It was a beautiful original of jacket of a book my father after WW2 made for a publisher, before he established his own publishing company, that however after 4 books was taken from him by the communist regime after the 1948 coup.

And in that time I had such a hat by myself, wearing it for many years always when bad whether, not being an only one, there were many seen around.

Why no longer to see it in Thailand?
