Why do many Thai people prefer to have lighter skin?

Janin ******

, it’s a whole story. About 1850 the high society was never in the sun because, brown skin means, working on the land= poor!

After when factories came, and a lot of people worked inside= white skin, brown turns into fashion, because high society had the money to go on holidays and showed of their brown skin.

If they are brown it means that they work outside on the land, wich means (they think) they are pore. Kind of the same in Europa years and years ago...the whiter the wealthier....
