The Orachorn Thai Chong Kraben — Phrae Kaew Silk

The Orachorn Thai Chong Kraben — Phrae Kaew Silk

An effortless way to step into traditional Thai dress. The Orachorn is a pre-sewn Chong Kraben — the classic pleated Thai wrap bottom — finished with an elastic waist, internal zip and hook closure. No folding, no pinning, no learning the wrap. Step in, fasten, and you’re ready.

Cut from woven Phrae Kaew silk-blend with intricate gold Lai Thai brocade detail at the hem (or a clean modern solid, depending on your colour choice), the Orachorn carries the weight and drape of a hand-wrapped Chong Kraben without any of the fuss. Pair it with one of our Heritage Fit silk blouses for temple visits and ceremonies, or with a simple fitted top for a contemporary Thai-modern look.

What’s Included

• One pre-sewn Chong Kraben — choose your colour and size at checkout.

Size & Fit

The Orachorn has an elastic waistband with a zip and front hook, designed to accommodate a generous range of waist measurements within each size. Measure your natural waist (see our measuring guide) and choose the size that places you comfortably in the middle of the range.

The Chong Kraben sits at the natural waist and falls to just below the knee — a flattering length that works beautifully with both heeled sandals and flat slippers.

Fabric & Care

Woven Phrae Kaew silk-blend with a soft sheen and natural drape. The patterned colourways feature woven gold Lai Thai brocade at the hem; the plain black is a clean, matte finish suitable for more modern styling.

Hand-wash cold or dry-clean. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on low heat in reverse if needed. With proper care, this piece will hold its shape and shine for years.

Wear It For

Temple visits, merit-making, Songkran and Loy Krathong, family weddings as a guest, ordination ceremonies, cultural performances, and any occasion where you want the elegance of traditional Thai dress without the time it takes to wrap a length of fabric from scratch.
