It's more a case that farangs in general don't give a rats ass what skin color the girl they fall in love with has, while Thais are obsessed with it.

Scott Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think we tend to like that which is different and exotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetjock Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 White , yellow or brown and anywhere in between is fine with me. It is all the other features that make a big difference for me. Farangs should be happy that most Thai men prefer extremely white skin as it just leaves more beautiful women available for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nokia Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think you should consider a new career as a social commentator. Unpaid one maybe. I think all TV contributors are social commentators to some extent. Anyway, with the television commercials featuring mostly extremely white skin beauties, no wonder, the northern beauties are rather snooty compared to their darker skin counterparts from all over the country. I've seen thais literally paying obeisance to their fair snooty princesses in public. Their darker counterparts dont get even such preferential treatment from farangs, let alone local men.

Jingthing Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) I have a small preference for the lighter skinned ... Actually, I have been here long enough that I no longer find Thai people the least bit "exotic". Scandanavians, now they are exotic.

Maybe it's just my observation but i noticed that farangs are less often seen with fair skin beauties. Is it because they are a rare species, found only in the north, or maybe, they are much harder to woo or it takes awful long time ... Any care to elucidate?

OK, not PC, but many of the farangs you see are with sex workers, and sex workers are mostly from Isaan, and people from Isaan are often darker (I don't know if naturally or from working outside, or both).

Or maybe there are not that many of them really. The ones I have seen, have looked fairly sickly to me. More grey than white skin.... Us farangs dont even have white skin...it's more pink if you ask me...so that grey-white skin tone that Thais favour simply put me off...they simply dont look very healthy...

That's why farang spend millions for Vit D eg sun tan in LOS. But in LOS, the locals' mentality is to associate any darkening skin to be "peasant class". Maybe a century ago, maybe they may link darker skin to uncleanliness, but that's passe. So can i conclude that farangs prefer healthy skinned beauties?

chanchao Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Any care to elucidate? It's more aesthetically pleasing to elucidate all over dark skin because it stands our more compared to white skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Its just taste and culture, or a mix. I do think it is common in Thailand to think lighter skin means higher class, maybe a strange reason to be attracted to somebody, but who are we to judge?
