This large size allows for a greater variety of uses, they are primarily used to protect Cambodians from the sun, the dust, and the wind, and it is for this reason many tourists end up investing in one during a visit.

However, they are also slung around the waist as mini-sarongs, used as towels for drying the body, knotted at the neck as decorations, tied across the shoulders as baby carries, placed upon chairs or beds as pillow covers, used to tow broken-down motorbikes and stuffed inside motorbike tires in the advent of remote punctures, the list is endless!

They have become very much a symbol of Cambodia and for many Khmers, wearing one is an affirmation of their identity.

This scarf measures 60 X 24 (Inches), traditional checkered design are found throughout the majority of the material, lacking are the tassles which are seen in our smaller kramas.
