The Sinh (Lao: ສິ້ນ, [sȉn]; Thai: ซิ่น, RTGS: sin, [sîn]; Tai Nuea: ᥔᥤᥢᥲ; Northeastern Thai: สิ้น, [sìn]), or commonly (Thai: ผ้าซิ่น, RTGS: pha sin),[1] is a handmade traditional skirt, often made of silk, that are worn by Lao women[2] and Thai women, particularly northern Thai and northeastern Thai women. It is a tube skirt.[3] Its pattern can indicate which region the wearer is from. In present-day Thailand, pha sins are typically worn at special events.
