Elephant pants

Elephant pants (Thai: กางเกงช้าง, RTGS: kangkeng chang) are a style of loose-fitting trousers made of a light-weight fabric featuring printed elephant patterns. They are mainly sold in Thailand, as well as other countries in Southeast Asia, and have mostly been associated with backpackers, but since 2022 they have also seen a surge in popularity among local Thais.
