  Reua Ih-Leuang (oarsmen)

 

Thailand

The oarsmen of the Reua Ih-Leuang royal barge are dressed in a white jacket trimmed with blue, a blue pahkaomah, blue trousers, and a blue muak hoo krataai (fig.), i.e. a brimless hat with earflaps, trimmed with gold.

 

As on all other barges, the helmsmen are dressed in a green silken jacket decorated with a golden floral design, and a red-and-green cloth with a silver pattern around the waist.

In addition, they wear a wine-coloured sarong with silver designs, that is wrapped around the body and tied in a knot near the navel, white socks and black soes, whilst their hat is yellow trimmed with gold, with neck- and earflaps, and fitted with a golden naval emblem and a golden spike.
