Well, I'm running out of idea, so I'll discuss a bit of rain and sunshine. What kind of fun here in Thailand is to see people complain about the rain (we understand) but also the sun. Indeed, it is not uncommon during a sunny day, a pretty girl walking with an umbrella or, on a construction site, a man wearing gloves, long sleeves and ... a hood!
must understand that in Thailand, one of the main canons of beauty is to have white skin, almost diaphanous. Thais who have dark skin are almost seen as provincial farmers cope with posh urbanites of Bangkok. Almost all the stars of television (except actors) are white as snow. The women here do not skimp on the "whitening creams" which are advertised everywhere and create complex swarthy women. A friend remarked to me that recent advertisements in the Sky Train showed a woman crossing his ex in the street with a new flame. The new girlfriend's skin color paper and dropped the girl with dark skin. The ad ends with a display of poor contemplating whitening cream in a glass case ... Pathetic.
Try to understand that Thai girls with us slip into the machines to burn your skin! And they pay for it! The sight of red as lobsters tourists returning from the beach is quite a sight too. Contrast world!
