กางเกงมวย · kangkeng muay
Cut wide at the leg so a kick can go over your own head.
Kru Tony Moore · CC BY-SA 4.0What it is
Short, wide-legged satin shorts with a broad elastic waistband, carrying the gym's name in Thai across the front.
The long version
The cut is functional. A round kick to the head takes the knee past the ear, and anything that grips the thigh stops it.
The lettering is not decoration either: it is the camp's name, and in Thailand the camp name is part of the fighter's name. Buakaw Banchamek, Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn, Apidej Sit Hirun — the second word is where he trains.
Inference — a foreigner in shorts bought at a market is wearing a gym's name like a football shirt, which Thai people read exactly as what it is and mind less than the internet suggests.
