As Seeker said light skin is desired for many reasons most stemming from a perceived status.
Remember reading something to the effect of "dark skin....
face to the soil and back to the sun" ie outdoor manual labor.
Look at home photos taken by your Thai friends and you will
see that the photo shops lighten the area of peoples faces
without asking.
