Creepy as fuck
For Thais, white skin and chinese looking faces are the ideal for beauty. As such, Thai’s are always perplexed why farang like to date dark skin girls, and it’s a question I’m often asked (probably because I’m a male farang). Regardless of what the real reasons are, or what my opinion is, I thought it would be interesting to see what the Thai theories are.
I spent some time probing the forums and found it to be a common question asked by Thais online. Generally, most Thais didn’t have a clue. Many of them only posted what they were told by farangs, after asking us. Those responses were generally accurate (in my opinion) and consistent among the various forums.
Below are selected responses that I thought were representative and/or interesting, with my following English translation. As not everyone can read Thai this will be mainly side-by-side translation practice for the more advanced readers. However, the cultural insight should be useful for everyone.
