Just want to point out there are a lot of people from the Issan tribe in Bangkok and also Samut Prakan. My ex-gf is from Samut Prakan but her mum is from Issan while her dad (far darker than the mum) was born in Bangkok. And she is consider fair for a Kon Issan. I would consider her mum as fair too, though darker than my ex).

In fact if she had not told me her background, I wouldn't know the difference by skin color. I have also known Kon Neur's who are darker than her!

Samut Pakan (specifically closer to Tehperak) would be where I would call home if I do achieve objective to start a factory in Samut Prakan, due to the nature of the industry and the suitability of the people living around that place. I would also expect most of the people I would be hiring to be Kon Issan, simply cos most of the people in this particular industry are Kon Issan.

I am of the opionion that we may not be to tell the difference between people orginating from the 2 tribes unless one is very fair or very dark. Only from the dialect they speak, can one tell. So I did not know better until I got to know them for a longer period and heard them speak to their friends in dialects, cos they always speak to me in pasar thai as I am still learning it.
