webfact Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 OPINION Brighter Butts, Darker Futures By Tuptim Malakul Lane Na Ayutthaya Walk into any high-end department store in Bangkok and find an immense display of cosmetic brands from Avon to Yves Saint Laurent. Whatever their primary purpose, they all share one prominent feature – making parts of your body whiter. There are whitening lotions, creams and deodorants. There’s even whitening sunblock to get whatever the opposite of a tan is.

longtom Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Finding a body or face lotion without 'whitening factor' can be quite a challenge here, even all reputable companies sell mostly this stuff.Sent from my ASUS_X008D using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meechai Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 This odd phenomenon is only in Thailand as far as I have seen Elsewhere folks still seem to worship a tan regardless of sun risk But in Thailand white=might/right Dark= poor farmer Sad what they teach the kids thru these advertisements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar in places like India etc. It is such a ridiculous cultural thing though. There really is nothing attractive about an Asian woman with fake features and awful unnatural white skin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardrunner Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 perhaps the question should also be asked, why do European women get fake tans so that they look brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Well, the Swiss claim is one thing and possibly as fake as the rest of the advertised do-gooder-rubbish. Even better is the BTS ads referring to "snail white"; anyone out there being able to help me the equation between a snail and white? Not of vital importance but yet another proof that customers want to be cheated and lied upon and pay premiums for this service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly , this is why my wife would rather go 2k in the car rather than on the bike , if she is told we are going on the bike she puts a jacket on to shield the sun. My eldest comes out here and would like to spend all day , if the kids let her , lying in the sun . White = holiday in Land of Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
