1. Almost all Thai university students love student uniforms. If you think I’m pulling this out of thin air, here’s the evidence. A Suan Dusit poll conducted just last week (14-17 September 2013) showed that 94.4% of 1,293 university students in greater Bangkok think student uniforms are “necessary” to maintain the order and their identity; 70.96% think they should wear the uniform everyday they attend classes.
If that doesn’t convince you of Thai university students’ love of uniforms, I don’t know what would. A poll asking soldiers about their uniforms would be hard pressed to produce such an impressive percentage. In a general election, 94.4% would be the mother of a landslide that even the late Saddam Hussein would envy. And given it’s the students who wear the uniforms, there isn’t really any need for more reasons beyond No. 1. There is no doubt that the 94.4% of 1,293 university students in greater Bangkok speak for all university students in Thailand. But for the benefit of skeptics, I’ll go through Reasons No. 2 – No.10 just to show the abundance of compelling reasons. Beat the dead horse, I will.
