Thong bikinis are becoming a mainstream fad among Vietnamese celebrities, who love to highlight their curves and tanned skin ahead of the coming summer.

Model Quynh Anh Shyn is one of the hardcore fans of thong bikinis, which are cut very low in the front and have only a thin strip of elastic material running between the cheeks in the rear, helping women show off their curves and waists. Another reason making many women enjoy the type of bikini is that getting the least tan lines is top on their list. Photo courtesy of Quynh Anh Shyn.
