American, australian,european people usually have a wrong concept that the thai people are mongoloid and look no different from  oriental , chinese,japanese or korean,when on reality they look much different, darker (skin and hair), beardmans, and completly different facial features, sometimes almost indian/bangladeshis even latino looking rather than anything else. Look at the thai's folk music band members for example.And some thai celebrities and thai people in real look like.

"Why do some Thai people have so dark features?"

 

 

Did you flunk science/biology in school ? Or are you just too lazy to google the reason some people have more pigmentation in the skin ?

Historically there's Indianised SE Asia in the region West and South of Laos mountain ranges. Then Sino-influenced east of that. Then significant population moves, immigration to all of them from China and also Western colonisation (most of SE Asia) over the last two centuries or so to mix things up. 

There is a significant racial mix here in Thailand.

To understand it, start reading up on the history of this part of the world.

A comprehensive overview is provided by D.G.E. Hall's A History of South-East Asia [St. Martin's Press].

That would be a good place to begin.
