Is it more acceptable now for a Thai woman to marry a foreigner or is it being discouraged by Thai families?
There is a Thai phrase “luk kreung” which translates to “half children” or half Thai, they are multinational children in Thailand.
Thirty years ago, children of Thai and non-Asian parents were looked upon with suspicion, the product of wartime relationships between American GI’s and "loose" Thai women or today people call them working girls or bar girls.
Back then, the assumption of Thais who saw a foreigner with a Thai woman was that the foreigner was a soldier and the Thai was a working girl.
But this rapidly industrializing nation has developed a taste for things Western, and stigmas are falling away. Many luk kreung with Western looks are today enjoying unprecedented success.
Like Tiger Woods and Actor model Willie McIntosh.
