Look=child,kreung=half, its the Thai word for mixed race people, mostly from a Thai mother and a farang father (could also be Japanese or whatever of course). Lately they seem to be a big hit in the Thai entertainment-models, TV, shows etc. Tongchai McIntyre (aka as Bird- a famous singer) is one. I would like to hear a little of your ideas:
1.it seems to me they over overrepresented in the flesh-trade compared to daily life. I wonder- if their fathers would still be there - if they would approve? But most seem to come from broken families.
2.they seem often to be able to speak english better-maybe thats also something in the genes, or maybe early training- it seems best to learn feeling for a language at young age
3.my main point: I always tend to think it must be a very touchy subject and never ask. Some will venture it spontanously, and I also know that Thai can be very nosy and straightforward about some things (O, you are so fat!)-but also have a deep ''kreng jai''=compassion to avoid touchy subjects - and none has given me a clear answer in this.
