I looked at the outfits from Laos and thought, I have something similar to that. I have Thail so called silk skirts, wrap around, with matching tops. I have some with elephant pattern, which is typically Thai, as the elephant it their national symbol. (Elephants are also popular on Indian cotton prints.) To follow the Laos article I though an outfit without the Thai elephants would be more suitable. I have enough spare skirts and tops to cut one up and make a scarf. To show off a scarf you need a pale colour contrasting top. The style should be like a tee-shirt, ideally white with short sleeves for the heat. To match the fabric choose silk. I am wearing a white knitted silk Patra top. But online you can buy inexpensive satiny tank tops.
