I guess Indonesian look like Indonesian? they may look similiar to some Chinese because they try to copy the clothing & hairstyles but they still look Indonesian

if they were to go to China, Taiwan, HK, etc they would stand out and people would know they are definitely not a Chinese or Korean or Japanese

they are still Indonesian at heart and by culture

The Indonesian domestic workers you see in Singapore do seem to look different on average to many Indonesians who come here.

Indonesians working in Hong Kong ..they are not fully represent the Indonesian people.
actually, the maids in Hong Kong who come from Indonesia and the Philippines have to have some level of higher-education in order to come. So they're not some low-class street people. They're average middle-class Indonesians and Filipinos who CANNNOT blend in with Southern Chinese. Sorry, you're delusional

Thailand vs Indonesian


The video explane itself without any stupid cherry picking, you can look everywhere in the video .Yet I don't find any of your Indonesian look any close to any tpye of East Asian when compare to the Thai.

Indonesian = Australoid Asutronesian ethnic family of Asia along with Malaysian/Filipino.

Thai are Tai-Kadai along with Zhuang/Lao/other Tai ethnics and Tai-Kadai is closest ethnic family to Northeast Asian among the rest of Southeast Asian .

thank you.


I have been sitting and compare over 30-40 of Thai crowd at 1:03 of the video and over 30-40 of Indonesian crowd at 1:53 of the video.

As far as I see 95% of Thai crowd look East Asian. Yet I don't see a single person in 30-40 of Indonesian crowd that have look of East Asian, all of them look Australoid Asutronesian just like Malay/Filipino.

Well what is so surprise in fact Indonesian itself are Australoid Asutronesian so there is nothing wierd that they look Australoid Asutronesian.

we always serve your comment with a smile.
Well Han-Chinese is actually like 10-20% of Thailand population, so maybe only 10-20% of those in the video are actually Chinese.

Acutally Thai/Tai-Kadai people aren't even from Southeast Asia at first place anyway. Tai/Dai the main ethnic which make up to 75-85% of Thailand total population migranted from China into Southeast Asia in 11-12th century because of Mongolian invade China. So basically Thai aren't Southeast Asian at first place anyway. They originally Northeast Asian who migrant South.

Btw those people who originally live in the place where it is Thailand before the Tai/Dai ethnic migranted down were some form of Mon-Khmer(Khmer/Vietnamese) and some Austronesian Austroloid (Filipino/Indonesian/Malaysian). So that should why there are a few of Austronesian Austroloid looking people in Thailand.
