Very illuminating to hear this from your perspective. I knew about the skin whitening and how dangerous it can be.

I like what Mia said .. “love you as you are”.

Hello,

Happy to hear that Mia has more curve than the average Thai girl, real connoisseur expect a little more meat on the bone… 5555 ( please, I’m not rude here ) and that she reject until now the botox… Woman do need to understand that there are still real men able to see the inner beauty of a woman, to appreciate her soul. As a western European guy I always smile with this obsession for white, personally I never wake up in the middle of the night to run in front of the mirror to admire my white skin.
โชคดีครับ มิเชิล

Mia says: This is a difficult one to answer , I will give you my Thai opinion, as best as I can…
Thai culture is based a lot on first impressions either well-dressed, uniform wearing, including physical appearance.In Thai culture it’s considered normal to be asked about age, career, marital status or even income. This information will help us to determine the social level of others, in order to be correctly address the other person as pii (older), nong (younger), or whether to wai or not.

Physical appearance critiques varies on the relationship between the person, sometimes it just means they have notice the change and remember what it was before. This doesn’t mean it’s ok to do so especially if the comment is negative. Thais would rather to keep it to themselves. The Thai education system, the teaching of inner beauty has always been look at especially in the Buddhism aspect. Unfortunately, the media has a huge impact on all walks of life. In everyday life we have been exposed to this kind of publicity all the time.

Lani says: As a luuk krung or half Thai raised in the United States, I completely understand your frustrations and feelings. I wrote about my experiences here: http://tellthaiheart.com/the-other-side-of-thai/

I can also echo what Mia is trying to say by also adding, this is the Thai way of being conversational. They love to talk, and talking about the way you look to them is just their way of “connecting” with you. It’s like the American, “You look tired, did you get much sleep last night?” But with the language barrier, perhaps you don’t/can’t dive too deeply into these things? You could try to explain, that in Western culture, a remark about “looking tired” can be considered insulting!

I think we forget that this is a cultural exchange. I know I want to let my Thai friends and students know when they say something “not appropriate” but I forget and just swallow the remark, wondering what the hell was that all about? You and me should make a pact, to try to speak up more often when something is bothering us. I think our Thai friends will appreciate us letting them know they’ve made a social faux pas. Because I certainly don’t think that is their intent. And by the way, you look fabulous

The fact that these surgeries, or visiting the beauty/skin clinic has become so commonplace is a sad sign.
I think caring about appearance has become so ingrained in our entertainment-obsessed/image-obsessed culture (Western/Eastern and everywhere between,) that we don’t even realize the extent that we’re stuck in it. It’s almost like the “inner beauty” concept has been forgotten.
As an American living in Thailand now for years, I’m really shocked by the number of times a Thai person has commented directly on my appearance: “you look so tired / you’re fat now / before you were beautiful / you’re skinny / you’re so pretty / your skin is dark / you look old today / today you are beautiful” It’s shocking, and sadly I can’t help feeling that it’s negatively affected me. My “self-esteem” has gone down and my “beauty-consciousness” has gone way up. I constantly feel like people are looking at me and judging me here, cause they tell me about it! These days, I find myself looking at people and instantly judging their “beauty,” which is something I don’t remember doing quite so frequently before I lived here. Watching Thai TV at night is one whitening/beauty product after another. I wonder how this gets handled in the education system – is anyone taught to recognize and respect “inner-beauty?” Or is that a concept that has just been buried and lost under all this pretty stuff?
