Interest in Thai sarong surges after Blackpink's Lisa wears one

The singer-dancer posted several pictures of herself on Instagram wearing an indigo and white sarong, with a white top, while visiting the Ayutthaya heritage site in the north of Bangkok.

Lisa's post and her decision to wear the sarong have shone the spotlight on traditional Thai clothing and Ayutthaya.

Charnruean, the shop from which Lisa got the sarong, has a one-month waitlist after selling out all its sarongs, which are priced at 2,800 baht ($108) each.
