Apparently during the last century the King decreed that everyone should adopt a Thai name (instead of their migrant/Chinese name). This can be seen in names, Charoen is Chinese/Thai, a name that's quite common? (As in Charoen Krung Road?).
"Demographics. Thailand has the largest overseas Chinese community in the world outside Greater China. 11 to 14 percent of Thailand's population are considered ethnic Chinese".
Many Thai women also have Chinese genes, giving them lighter skin. I think that to many Thais, lighter skin adds to beauty, whereas to many farang, darker skin is attractive.
As our former UK prime minister said recently, we're gonna have to start living with COVID, we can't go on forking out £400 billion to lock down the country. Especially now that the majority of the population is vaccinated.

The most beautiful in South East Asia? I remember seeing some real stunners in the Philippines, maybe more so than Thailand.
