It would be helpful if they specified what Thai fabric was.  Most of Thailand's fabrics are focused on synthetics, particularly petro chemical derived products such polyester, so Ii don't know how wearing more of it will reduce energy use.

It doesn't have the durability for everyday pants and office wear. Besides,  the  silk clothing isn't easily available to those who would be buying it and it's expensive. My  silk pajamas lasted 1 year before disintegrating.

.Do they mean cotton? If so, Thailand  imports most of its cotton from China.
