Eh, we don't have the small eyes, big nose combination. We have the big eyes small nose combination, which happens to be the most beautiful combination. We also have the whitest skin(whiter than ALL white countries, if you look at the average face profile).
Did you look at the links that I gave, and the links within them?
I'm not so sure if he could even pass as Vietnamese. People make too many wrong assumptions about Vietnamese features.
A Vietnamese is not simply a swarthier Southern Chinese with flatter nose. His features are just too Chinese-like; his profile is flatten, his face is broad, and his eye sockets are shallow with epicanthic folds.
A typical Viet would have protruding cheekbones, a strong jawline, and deep set eyes. His face wouldn't be as flat or as broad, either more narrow or small and boxy-like. I've read other people describing the typical Vietnamese face as apple shaped due to the jutting cheekbones.
^ Well if you include Vietnamese than yes, many Vietnamese look like him. Khmer can have small eyes but the combo of small eyes/broad nose is usually found in Vietnam and Southern China. The eyes are a more northern trait and the nose a more southern trait. Typically, small eyes go with a smaller, narrower, sharper nose.
My sister is often mistaken for Filipino, Malay or even Polynesian, yet most of our ancestry is from Fujian province (going back before Singapore/Malaysia) aside from possibly a bit of Malay.

I agreed on this too, the combo of flat broad nose with low or nose bridge, gigantic squarish jaw line, strong prominent cheekbone are extremely among Mon-Khmer population(Khmer/Vietnamese/Wa/Blang/Deang/Suy/some south-eastern Chinese may also have it because of Mon-Khmer mixing from Vietnamese).

Majority of Vietnamese will have facial structure of gigantic squarish jaw line,strong prominent cheekbone,flat broad nose with low to none nose bridge and chin part will be more forward than nose which is similar to majority of Cambodian and other Mon-Khmer people, these are trademark facial structure of Mon-Khmer race. The only different I can notice is Vietnamese have lighter skin tone when compare to Cambodian the rest of Mon-Khmer group like Wa/Blang/Deang/Suy(Definitely, this is because Vietnamese has history of mixing with Han-Chinese while Cambodian and other Mon-Khmer like Wa/Blang/Deang/Suy didn't).
On another hand when we look at Lao/Thai(Dai) and other Tai-Kadai people you will see that majority of people are having skinny-long face, narrower nose with higher nose bridge and horse face(nose part will be little more forward than chin), these are trademark facial structure of of Tai-Kadai race.

Even the Tai peoples who live in China (Yunnan and Guizhou specifically) look typical Southeast Asian. Quite frankly, Thai and Lao people don't look too different from the ones pictured below despite living further south in Indochina.
Dai Minority in Yunnan, China
Dong People in Guizhou, China
Clearly very different from the Sino-Thai peoples you enjoying passing off as "pure" Dai/Tai so much. I understand why you would want to though because they are very attractive people. Still those people are very obviously mixed.
Well, just one picture of three individual doesn't explain the story at all....
The Malay/Austronesian shaped nose + extremely small Oriental eyes combo seems to be more common among Cantonese speakers than it is among Mandarin speakers.
Well Thai and Lao people don't look much different to Southern Chinese either. I don't think most Khmers look as different as some seem to think either.
What about Thai people who have little to no Chinese ancestry, do you think most of them resemble Southern Chinese as well ?
I saw a Thai film called "Karaoke Girl" and the actress who played the prostitute had a very typical Southeast Asian look, meaning she would blend right in a crowd of Filipinos for example and not stand out as looking foreign.
Maybe she is one of those Thai that have very little Chinese ancestry or maybe even none at all.
Thai have a lot of ladyboys so you don't know which one is legit, but reading around tourist sites like Roosh V, the general consensus is that they're not as beautiful as Vietnamese girls. Here's what closer to the average Vietnamese girls look like(watch the videos till the end, they look a lot better than the pictures show):

Well, she doesn't have Chinese blood but she also doesn't have Thai(Dai) blood either. She has either Mon-Khmer or Austronesian blood which isn't the same group to either Han-Chinese or Dai(Thai/Lao).
I'm not sure what you're getting at here, those people you posted look much more typically Southeast Asian than Vietnamese do. I've seen some Vietnamese that could pass as a Korean or Northern Chinese, but I've never seen a Lao/Thai do that.
Where are Vietnamese that could pass as a Korean or Northern Chinese can you show some video of them? 95% of Vietnamese their nose always be way too broad and they also have way too low nose bridge to pass a Korean or Northern Chinese. Vietnamese generally have the same nose, cheekbone, jawline as Cambodian and other Mon-Khmer people. The only different is about skin tone(because of mixing with Han-Chinese during occupation).
