Thai Coeds’ Survival Kit: Skirt-Holding Paper Clip

If you’re a Thai female student and roundish hips are not really your anatomy, you may face a serious problem. The problem being that the black skirts of the female student uniform don’t have belt loops.
Because of not having belt loops on the skirt, some Thai girls wear a fancy clip on their belt to keep the skirt from riding up or down. Or the belt for that.
As universities’ dress code demands to wear the university’s belt. If a Thai girl does not have a fancy belt clip, then she just uses a big black paper clip thing.
In the amazing world of Thai coeds you’ll not only see super tight tops and skirts with a high slit in front. Female Thai students may also use paper clips for organizing not only stacks of papers, but skirts and belts.
And Tisu Girl of ItchyFingers provides some excellent investigative photo journalism:

You’ll see the practical use of paper clips as old-fashioned paper clips – and as much more important skirt/belt holders. To prevent the skirt/belt from slipping off.

Why they don’t just add some loops for belt on the skirts, just like what the boys’ pants have? Remember, there’s not only no political equality in town, you as well keep on looking for gender equality.

Now, if you see a paper clip, eh student, and ask her what’s the clip for, she’ll say the paper clips is used to secure the belt onto the skirt.

Just don’t ask why they don’t sew some loops on the skirt …

Forced into strictly uniformed uniforms, who wants to do without the individualistic fashion gadget called paper clip.

Just don’t have any of those paper clips lie around. She’d never believe you actually use this stuff.
Thanks for the shots ItchyFingers!
I feel suddenly some red and moving fever. Sick?
Your blog is becoming dangerously … hot.
Be careful.
By the way … any news from the “girl artist with the glasses?”
Hot? He’s talking paper clips and Bangkok Post readership Thaicrisis …

Good thing Purachai is still asleep.
Sometimes I feel uncomfortable reading your blog, such elaborate topics sometimes, and then paper clips and coeds’s skirts … But you know what Bangkok Dan? You have a great eye for small things. Keep it up, spotting the Elaborate & Profane as you say …
Excellent post! You learn something new every day! I always wondered why and now I know.
Ok, now answer me this question. Why do Thais wear their pyjamas in the supermarket and on the soi?
