Thai farmer's hat

The Thai farmer's hat or ngob (Thai: งอบ, pronounced [ŋɔ̂ːp], RTGS: ngop, also spelled ngorb), is a traditional hat used in Thailand. More complex in design than the related Asian conical hat, the ngob is made of ola palm leaves laid over a plaited bamboo-strip frame. The frame includes an inner band which fits around the wearer's head, creating space for air circulation. The ngob's shape was the inspiration for the design of the Thailand pavilion at Expo 2015 in Milan.
