Also now the in look for younger people is kpop based. They have the same thing (lighten their skin) plus lighter skin in general to start so even more influence.

As some others have mentioned this isn't just Thailand. In the west in the past it was seen as good to have pale skin as it meant you weren't working outdoors. Then when you could go abroad it was fashionable to have a tan to show you could afford that. Then with low cost air travel a tan then became a "lower class" thing again. It's just people peopling, though I wish it wasn't.

@Stuart ********

thanks. It says one time per entry. Do you happen to know if I extend by the usual 30 days can I get this 60 day extension on top.

I'm just trying to look out all my options until I get non o based on marriage which was due to be very soon until all the borders shut. Extension due 2nd April.

My husband is away for a few days, going to try and visit immigration without him to get the answers and if not go with him when he is back. But anything I can find online until I manage those 2 things is helpful!

Hi, can you tell me the school you are learning Chinese at please? I've been looking for one but keep getting told they aren't running the course anymore when I enquired at a few.
