I read in a magazine that 49% of Bkk.`s population are partly of Chinese ancestry, and I believe it`s true, `cause I have seen it myself. Half or more of Bkk. population has oriental features like Chinese, Korean, Japanese..etc...and others have more Indo-European features-like Indians, Bangladeshi, Pakistani...etc.-which is understable since Thailand is positioned on border of these two great human races & cultures. Also Thai music to me sounds like mixture of Indias & Chinese music. My wife looks very much "oriental" many people who see our foto together believe she is Japanese or Chinese. But she does not even want to hear thing like that..she says she is 100% Thai, though her father was burried in Chinese cemetery, one more indication that she is Chinese or half Chinese...How do other Thais see themselves?..Just as Thais?..or some other national origin?...(Hope its not too sensitive a subject)
