[lensta]

Ok, my choice is the one in the orange bikini bottom,

[Canuk23]

Too white they look dead

[eddie61]

The only people who will ever do well with these girls are the cosmetic surgeons and peddlers of skin whitening products.

I frankly would not touch any of them with my barge pole, (OK I am feeling a bit big for my boots this morning....)

Have a pension for the dark skin farm girl

Not sure if you meant to say penchant, but pension probably works better.

555!!! LOL Now THAT was funny and made even more hilarious by the truth of it!

Still laughing...

All of your pension?

[mesterm]

They see us foreigners with the darker ladies and laugh at us for taking a liking to their "low" girls. [in their minds]

They also think that they're with foreigners because they are "low".

"Penchant" meaning a strong liking for something.

opps missed the previous posts

[Tywais]

I expect the girls in the OP picture were only out in the sun for 5 to 10 minutes to take promotional photos. Then they all ran back inside to air conditioning and applying whiting cream. Many orientals, such as many Thai and Korean females, consider being dark so LoSo (Low Society...a laborer) and being light skinned HiSo.

Their umbrellas are behind the camera man.

[reggaebkk]

Raaaa, long live facial insemination!

[NoBrainer]

Looking at the picture in OP, the girls reminds me of what happens to you, when you have been living on a diet of American fast food.

Are the slim body types also prohibited along with the darker skin tones, or is it just a bad camera angle?

[spidermike007]

It continues to astonish me, that most Thais cannot see the beauty in dark skin. They are so hypnotized by TV, film, and the media, that they cannot see their own beauty, nor the beauty of such a high percentage of their people. Too bad. One assumes some things will never change, or will take a very long time to change.

This milky white skin obsession is bizarre. Some of these women look like Caspar the friendly ghost. What is appealing about skin that white? I just don't see it.

I want No. 17!!!

[Baerboxer]

Any pageant or beauty competition in Thailand, from babies to grown ups is control by a curtain powerful

group of people, many of which of the non heterosexual kind,

All such events are full of infighting, squabbling and backstabbing, I once was close to a person that it

was their business to take an unknown ordinary person and thrust them into the limelight, and the

stories I have heard make the running to the US presidency like a walk in park.....

Wow - and these people hide behind a curtain too!

Seriously, on the competitions for children. Some are talent competitions i.e. they have do sing, dance, classical dance, gymnastics etc; some are costume; some involving walking nicely like a model; some are fashion shows or themed etc. There are lots and lots. In a great many instances some parents pay for their kids to win. This might be a cash "donation" or a taking up of acting, dancing, modelling courses, usually at high prices. Any children who get "selected" or win through to other competitions that involve travelling must book accommodation and flights through the agency and of course pay the 30% admin surcharge. Taking the organizers / coaches for dinner on their birthdays or special days is also de rigeur. It's a racket aimed at making as much money as possible for the organizers. But, Thai parents love them and every contest is packed with entrants.

Most parents are nice and friendly but a few are vicious, spread rumors about others and do anything to push their kids up and pull others down. And yes, many involved in the organizing, running, preparing, coaching etc are transgender and homosexuals. But, they are good at it. Not much love lost between rival organizers and you have hell of a job sometimes getting prize money out of them.

According to a famous head honcho they're all dressed like rape victims in waiting...

Unwrapped candy anyone?

[smotherb]

I won't disagree with what various posters here are saying about the white skin mania...

But take note: Miss Thailand World 2014 broke the stereotype on that as a tan skinned beauty.

So at least, it sometimes goes the other way.

Yeah, maybe tan-skinned

I'm pretty sure none of them would want to touch your barge pole either.

[Monkeyrobot]

Second from the left and far right is my pick.

Governments want to keep you in the land of make believe. They want your eyes wide shut.

That's good because all dark skinned farm girls want is your pension.

[JCauto]

Have a pension for the dark skin farm girl

Sorry if I had a good laugh at this one as it's bad form to mock other's English mistakes. But this one is so good I couldn't resist.

What you meant was "I have a penchant for the dark-skinned farm girls." The funny part is that if you do, then you more than likely ARE providing a pension for them.

[Thaimike370]

Where are the real Thai beauties, the dark ones with the gorgeous tans, not the false white Coco the clown lookalikes.

[WhizBang]

Oh dear, Prayut and the culture minister will have a coronary over this.

These ladies are not upholding Thai cultural values in those bikinis. They are damaging the image of Thailand.

[Sydebolle]

SPF 400 ?

[car720]

rough looking bunch,

Make no mistake. Any one of them would gladly rip out your liver and hand it to you, especially if there were a few baht in it.

Horses for courses,

l love a milky white skin.

(& brown & coco-black, heh heh!).

Damn, all smooth female skin.

[Ulic]

The one on the left looks like a young Yingluck.

[phuketandsee]

I want No. 17!!!

Me too. But is she wearing black panties under her swimsuit?

[Bigstef]

No dark skinned lovelys then

If you click on the link there is one lady with dark skin #29

[spidermike007]

We are all very thankful for the presence of #29. She represents an entire nation, with her darker skin. And though she is a bit lighter in skin tone, #28 is amazing. Gorgeous. Wow. What can one say, with a face and body like that?
