Started

It would look better if the beginning of the article didn't focus on Lao or Thai. Since this is an article about sampots, then the opening paragraph should tell us more about sampots such as it's uses, it's appearance and what it is made of but only use brief sentence It should be mentioned that Thai and Lao have similar dress-style, but it is going into detail too early in the article about the influence. Leave that for a later section in the article. Basically, the opening article should state the importants points first and discuss them in sections below. I'm not going to edit it though. --Dara 17:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The reference I used refered to the similarities between Thai, Khmer and Lao textiles. I just added refernce to Lan Xang and Sukhothai as being Angkor influenced like how the kimono article refered to kimonos being influence by China's tang dynasty. You can remove it or add to another section like history but I don't mind it. CanCanDuo 00:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Textiles

There are:

• Sampot Charabap
• Sampot Hol
• Sampot Pha Muong
• Sampot L'beuk

plus others I don't know. But this article only explains two types of Sampot (textiles worn around the lower body). --Dara (talk) 03:32, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Discussion of possible lead photo edit warring

@Don nco: has repeatedly replaced the lead photo without explanation, discussion, or even a summary. They apparently are a single-purpose account as their editing has focused on this photo alone. In this article's body, there are no photos of sampot samluy sarabap/charobab. However, there are four photos depicting chong kben, both in sculpture and on live people. This includes chong kben phamuong in a photo from 1906. Despite this, user keeps replacing the lead with yet another photo of chong kben phamuong:

- User:Sigma440 on July 12 (blurry)

- User:Fwedthebwead on July 15 (not portraying a Sampot)

- myself on July 15 (unexplained)

For context, a few months ago in the Khmer Traditional Clothing article, a new user kept inexplicably replacing the photo for the Sampot charobab section (the same garment and textile that keeps getting replaced in the lead here) with that same photo of chong kben. I added the photo in question to the chong kben section - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_traditional_clothing#Sompot_chong_kben

I don't understand why the photos of sampot samloy sarabap keep being replaced with sampot chong kben without explanation when consensus understandably favors the use of sampot samluy sarabap in the lead since it's not represented in the article whereas chong kben phamuong is. I hope we can get to the bottom of it via discussion. MoonsMoon (talk) 18:01, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Chut Thai

The images currently in Sampot article include Thai national costume (Chut Thai Chakkri with Sbai). This is Thai, not Sampot. Please remove.

Evidence: - Q3946549 on Wikidata has image property showing Khmer dancing image that is confused with Thai. - Correct Thai costume is Chut Thai Chakkri defined by Thailand Ministry of Culture (m-culture.go.th) and Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles (qsmthailand.org)

Please add clarification: "Not to be confused with Thai Chut Thai". ~2026-51285-89 (talk) 00:33, 23 September 2026 (UTC)
