In regards to paul_au his info. concerning the skin colours is pretty much right. There are lots of shades of brown in Thai such as 'dam daeng', 'dam leu-ang' etc..

Honey-skinned people are synonymous with Thai-Thais while Yellow skin is in reference to the Thai-Chinese. Such a colour is known to the Thais as 'shiny' thus more beautiful.

Us Farang too have our own sense of what beauty is and what is not, ie. blonde hair, which personally I dont find attarctive whatsoever. Therefore, it is notionless to criticise the Thais on thier sense of beauty.
