Authentic Thai/Cambodian Body Bags

Ever since I saw actors in movies, like, Aga Muhlach (Filipino actor in All My Life movie) wearing/using one, and also after my sister got home from a trip to Cambodia with two of it, I began to be so eager in having one myself.

And so, when my sister had a trip to Thailand, I asked her to get one for me. But she said. "sa Cambodia ko nabili yan--sa Thailand ako pupunta!" (I bought that in Cambodia--I'm going to Thailand!) but still I told her, just in case she sees one--pls. bye it for me. @_@

Luckily, when she got home...weeeehh! As a late birthday present she bought me a black Thai body bag,

It's similar to a Cambodian Monk Bag.

After that, I've discovered that a Thai restaurant near where I live, also sells products from Thailand. And some of them are bags. I saw square body bags ideally for women.

And simpler ones that are unisex, just like Cambodian Monk Bags and the body bag my sister gave me.

They are quite cheap. The one with Batik/ Tie Dye design cost around Php 280 (can't remember exactly). The one with spirals are Php 200 (i think).

I bought one with the Tie-Dye design and a plain one that cost Php 150 (discounted since it's the last piece)

I think you can buy these in Thailand for about 100 Philippine Pesos, each.
