This has nothing to do with kilts, but...

I spent nearly 18 months in Southeast Asia - Thailand - and one night while drinking a beer in one of the local establishments, a cockroach - about three inches across and five inches long ran across my sandled foot. If I had not been about 2/3rds drunk, it would have scared the "manure" out of me. As it was, I found out that the "Cowpot" fried rice, often included anything running across the grill - including cockroaches. Oh, the memories that this thread has brought back to me from the early 1970's.

But, Sarongs were commonly worn by Thai men out in public or even to work on construction sites. I know their not kilts....
