Also, being white in Thailand is considered a positive.

I noticed all the skin whitening creams advertised on tv. I was often grumbling at the tv, "No No No No, don't try to get white, you're gorgeous just the way you are."

Is this a recent thing in Thai aesthetics?

I remember the first time a Thai woman said to me in chat that she stayed out of the sun because if she didn't she went very dark and I had to laugh because of all the pale skinned people in Australia trying to get dark and giving themselves skin cancer in the process. The world is a weird place!

Peace,
Mikel.
