My Wife Hates The Sun In Thailand

[simpathy]

lots of thais already sell h2omelons roadside, wo the cornholes though . maybe thais and afrikans are cousins of some sort!

[Huey]

Loz, Dig it !

Be happy with the skin your in, My wife loves it, if anything she would like to be a shade or 2 darker. Check her out trying to look like Beyonce'

The only thing "Whitening" in our house is the toothpaste!

[SantiSuk]

the thai wife says...

dark skin = lo-so, farming type girls working the land or the noodle stand or the bars in bangkok

-- many of the older westerners here prefer the dark skin for a gf...

white skin = hi-so, thainese upper class office & educated ladies

-- how many white skin thai girls do you see at Nana or Cowboy? Not many.... why?

simple as that...

And northern Europeans revere dark skins because it indicates someone with the money to stay in the sun (a subconscious effect then reinforced by the media in the same way the converse happens in Thailand). It all boils down to money.

[sarahsbloke]

Western people are as superficial as the Thai people, lying every day under Sun light, using darkening creams, go on a holiday and lying 24/7 in the sun.

This all by knowing the having higher risk on skin cancer, who is SUPERFICIAL.

I'm pretty sure skin whitening is just as bad as sun for your skin.

I noticed there are lots of white skinned ladyboys in Nana.

Does anyone know if Thailand has a big Vitamin D deficiency due to the vampire thought process with regards to the sun?

mate, your wife is already too black by thai standards. She can bleach her skin all she wants but those is black folks lips!

Be happy in the skin you are in people!

And sometimes it ain't..

Yes i agree, both is little bit crazy but i don't mind

Good post OP.

What I find funny is that your wife is already dark.

If your wife had light skin, then I could understand her saying "I don't want to get a suntan, I prefer the to remain light skinned" but in your wife's case, and many other Thais, its like they think they are one day going to wake up and be light skinned.

They can put on all the whitening lotion and all the layers of clothing, it ain't gonna change anything!

I'm pretty sure of this one also.

Especially if they use mercury, forbidden in Europe or the US but not sure in Asia...

Well these days she does not care that much anymore.

As you rightly said and she said it also "I'm dark already, too late"

But I do not really think she is part of the majority.

You can even buy creams in Thailand theses days that will whiten you armpits. They won't whiten anything else, just your armpits.

In appr 20 years people here will adore dark skin because of exactly that argument:

And northern Europeans revere dark skins because it indicates someone with the money to stay in the sun ..........It all boils down to money.

While we in good old Europe will reverse cultivate ourselves to that:

because of exactly that argument:

...

dark skin = lo-so

white skin = hi-so,

simple as that...

[eurasianthai]

Just for the record, most Thai girls, black or white or any colour in between, have nice full lips.

And indeed, so do most black girls.

[andyww]

Western women often ask my wife what potions/creams etc she uses on her skin to keep it so young looking. She replies she uses nothing at all. Just never goes in the sun.

Its not just a skin cancer issue, lying in the sun is a crazy thing to do because it simply ages the skin requiring expenditure on creams which dont really do anything.

[wallhigh]

Others have already given the stupid reasons why most Thais value white skin over brown. Us Farangs couldn't give a dam_n if women are whiter than others... just so long as the woman is attractive in the first place.

speak for yourself, some foreigners do care... when a friend introduced a gf to several thai and western friends, most would talk behind her back over the following weeks and months, calling her lo-so, uncultured, a noodle peddler.

white skinned thai gf's rarely get called lo-so... guilty parties are germna, american and british

men, aged from 38 to to 55, about 10 in total - always comparing wives and gf's, allocating

the dark skinned variety to the upper north east areas of thailand...

thais do it also - i have heard it stated several times "leave the dumdum skinned girls for the falangs".

[wallhigh]

I noticed there are lots of white skinned ladyboys in Nana.

Does anyone know if Thailand has a big Vitamin D deficiency due to the vampire thought process with regards to the sun?

I try to avoid all ladyboys who are in my path - they scare the beejeezus out of me, they grab you, and are so aggressive - dont know where their hands have been, dont want them touching me, the only way is to cross the road.

just a general question on them - why do ladyboys assume that a heterosexual looking and dressing and acting guy walking and minding his business is interested in doing something so devious with them? Who taught them that foreigners are like this? Sad really....

[walkingman]

I would guess your wife is from Issan ? I would say its normal for girls from Issan with farang husbends to try to look as white as they can. This is because they dont want more well off thai's thinking they are a poor girl from issan who has just married a farang for the money. Its all about class levels and not losing face. Another thing seems to be with issan girls that they are fine talking to normal thai's who work in shops and hotels but when it comes to talking to rich thais or thais who work in goverment they are very shy and wont say much.

I am not saying this is the case or anything bad. But i am just saying how 95 % of issan girls with a farang husbend think.

thats a case of FAT ain't beautiful. Not black ain't beautiful. Put those girls on a diet and with titties like that, the likes of you would be throwing 30,000bht a month and free houses at them in no time! You'd be asking if you could send a vet to check the buffalo even before she mentioned it was lame. You'd have a new roof on her ghetto-fabulous home before she could say, "n1gga. please!"

not a chance, if you are referring to me... i cannot stand issan girls and everything to do with

their culture... my wife is from chiang mai, and is naturally light skinned. however, we have plenty

neighbours, mostly germans and british in their late 50s, with dark skinned isaan wives - after a few

words, my wife does not talk to them anymore - they speak poison behind the back of their man, talking

about how to extract more money, making sure the house is in her name, how to take money

quietly and send it back home - its actually so bad, we are moving to outside a moobahn soon

and building a 3m high concrete fence around the property, so that we dont have to hear such

backstabbing talk and have contact with such lo-so's...

Wallhigh,

If you hadn't used the term Lo so's your post would have been worthy of applause. I too tire of hearing the bad mouthing that goes on among this fringe. I understand a decent amount of Thai so when I sit in the internet shop and listen to groups of women online with numerous farang "Sponsors" and hear them laughing as they get them to send money, my heart sinks. It makes me yet more unlikely to seek a life partner here. The only think worse is socialising with farang who out their little cherub up on a pedastal and have no idea of the reality of thier situation. My greatest lesson in thailand, "Ignorance really is bliss".

I thought the girl on the right was Beyonce & then I realised a moment later that I had it wrong when i say the Beyonce word written there.

Anyway huey, ur misses hasnt got a sister has she?

So what about the south thais who are dark and many middle class ones too.I would bet money that your missus is light skin and loves to batter herself with whitener

[rono]

few decades ago white skinned europeans the elite, doctors, teachers, lawyers, while the tanned people were the ones working in the fields and classified as workers and poor. The elite could afford it to stay out of the sun.

then the whole skin thing reversed and the rich started to buy solarbanks to get a whole year tan.

[somtampet]

Overall i find this white elitist shit very disturbing when farangs get involved in this racism too.We all know that thai elites have been looking down their noses to dark skinned thais but now they have forced their ideals on simple farangs.

I'm at the internet store quite often as well which happens to be right next door to a big massage shop.

Anyhow I see quite a few of them signing on skype or msn with at least 10-20 different foreigners chatting away and as soon as they say their goodbyes they immediately start convo with next chump in line. Pretty nice scam going extract lots of money.

Do you really think that all dark skinned Thais are 'out to get your money' & cannot be trusted?

she has never used whitener in her life, she is naturally light skinned, and so is her mother.

the opinion stated above is not her opinion alone, ask any non-isaan woman in thailand her

opinion of isaan women and how they treat foreigners, also do some research on the isaan

culture on the internet, and some stories of men who have been ripped off and cheated, and

you will find a common thread.

i dont hink that at all, but i have met many westerners here who have been cheated and ripped off,

and a very high proportion of them have women from the upper right part of this country.

i have zero financial interactions of any magnitude with thais, so i dont get ripped off.

rght, so when you see these women cheating 10-20 men out of their $$$, do you consider that lo-so

or hi-so behaviour?

i have good personal friends who have been cheated out of ALOT of money and property by the scamming going on from the upper right part of thailand.

normal thai girls know of this, hence they have the lo-so expression for these women, before i came here i never knew these lo-so and hi-so concepts, we just dont have these issues in australia.

hence when normal thai people see a foreigner with a dark skinned issan beauty fresh out of a bar at nana, they can only chuckle as they know whats coming next....

lo-so is not my term, we do not have such derogatory terms in australia for the most part.

lo-so is something thais use against other thais, justifiably or not is open to debate by the

wise members of this board.
