Well that is the dress code, for Songkhran.
I also got a kick out of the “Thais don’t wear shorts” comment. The last 15 people (all Thai, moderately wealthy upper middle class; only BMWs, M-Bs and Minis) who just walked by my house in the last 3 minutes were all wearing shorts! And it's the cool, dry season! Maybe they meant to say, “Thais don’t wear shorts, to work”?
Some historical sites are quite strict; at Bang Pa In even women modestly dressed in long pants are required to wear a wrap, which are on loan.
