Photos of Chiang Mai University students modeling costumes inspired by their exquisite northern culture have circulated on Facebook this week — these photos look so professional and aspirational they could easily be mistaken for pages from a high fashion magazine.
As a part of the contest to find a student ambassador for the university, a boy and girl from each faculty took part in the photoshoot organized by their student unions.
In the photos, each student cleverly incorporated Thai fabrics into their outfits, while the background is their gorgeous city.
The photo series, dubbed “Chiang Mai-Mai” (The New Chiang Mai), aims to reflect the infusion of their old Lanna culture in modern-day Chiang Mai.
The photos, posted on Chiang Mai University Student Union’s Facebook page, generated over 12,000 shares since Wednesday, with many netizens praising the high-value production.
