The Pa Kao Mah (Pa Kao Ma or Pa Kao Mai) is a Thai Sarong, Scarf, or Loincloth. It is a rectangular piece of cloth with the size of a large bath towel and originally made of hand-woven cotton in 2 to 3 colours, usually with a checkered pattern.

It was (and still is) used by Thai men mostly, especially those from the Northern regions of Thailand, although you can see it being used everywhere across the country. Thai men typically wrap the Pa Kao Mah around the waist as clothing (mostly for comfort at home), yet, they also use it as a towel to go take a shower or swim, wipe off sweat whilst working on the land or in construction, or use it as a hat/head-cover, headband or scarf.

The Pa Kao Mah is a truly multi-purpose piece of cloth that apart from the applications mentioned above is used as a table cloth, decoration, a rope, a bed sheet or blanket, a hammock, a pillow, a rag or bag, a scarf, or a face-mask against dust, among other uses.
