Khmer is a Matriarchy society which the word Khmer it self is literally meaning "faminism". Since Khmer people believe we are a hybrid race of human and serpent, Naga. Khmer woman wears Sbai to honor our ancestors. "Sbai" from a Khmer word that refers to any kind of thin and soft garment. In clothing, it specifically refers to shawl-like garment or breast cloth used mostly by women and to the lesser extent religious men in Cambodia. There are related mythologies in the Khmer culture concerning the history of sbai, which was likely introduced during the Khmer Kingdom of Funan in the first century AD. The sbai is mentioned in the legends of Preah Thong and Neang Neak. In one scene, Preah Thong clings to a piece of cloth worn on the Nagini in order to make the journey to the Nāga's kingdom; that piece of cloth is a sbai. In that tale, the sbai is symbolic of the tail of Neang Neak, the Naga princess.During Angkor period, The Khmer people wearing Sbai by wrapped around their waist by leaving their top naked, however when Khmer people start to cover their top,The Khmer people wearing Sbai by wrapping around their breasts and left it free on their back.
