It is not cool to be Thai anymore

I get the feeling that some Thai people don’t think it is cool to be Thai anymore. The latest trend for over two years now is to a mix of something else and Thai. Many of the big stars in Thailand are a mix of men from Europe and USA and Thai girls. Many of them are the result of a Thai bar girl that met a foreigner and moved to another country and some of them now moved back. The media does not talk much about the mixed Thai girls’ background they concentrate on the girls.

One male star in Thailand made up a story that he was half Nepalese and he might get away with it if he did not make up another story that he was shooting a movie in USA with Bruce Willis. When reporters contact the film company they never heard of the movie or the Thai star. The reporters went to track the stars father in Issan and the star is now on a cry and forgive me tour.
You can see the trend in many community and dating sites where Thai girls and boys write mix nationality instead of Thai. They are pure Thai but they don’t want to write that.

People with Chinese background also claim to be Chinese now even if was 100 years the family came over from China and they don’t speak a world of Chinese.

Maybe in a few years when the trend blown over this people will change back to be Thai once more because being Thai is actually pretty special at least in my book.
