Sarong is a Malaysian word for a large tube of fabric worn as a kilt by men and women all over the world. Although recently the word 'sarong' has become a generic term applied to similar garments worn in different cultures. For example, in different parts of India 'phanek', 'mundu', 'lungi', 'kaili' all refer to the same garment. In Cambodia, a 'sampot' is much the same as a Malaysian sarong and commonly worn by women.
