Yeah but Chinese are 25% of the population so they're kinda hard to avoid. In the Philippines, they're less than 3%, so it wouldn't be very typical to post pics of them. But posting pics of Chinese-Thai would be comparable to posting pics of Visayans because they're both around a quarter of the population. And if you only count the Visayas population, that's only 1/8th of the population of the Philippines.
And some countries have a large influx of people from other places and they are part of the population. Just like how white people of Spanish-descent are a large part of many Latin American countries. They are part of that country just like Chinese are part of Thailand. You dont avoid talking about those people just because they have foreign origins. The Philippines is different because we dont have a large ethnic group with recent ties to a foreign country
the Philippines is also a country made up of different ethnics
while thailand is basically 1 ethnic...living alongside laotians and chinese
its easier to identify foreigners from locals at that point

Doesn't matter. Even if you think that every single Visayan looks East Asian (which is far from the truth). Thailand still has an ethnic group just as big that actually is East Asian.
Hopefully in your next life you'll be born in Thailand
your feeding into these thai ladyboy fantasies of theirs.....the people other then ethnic chinese in thailand dont look NEA at all...besides your speaking from a tagalog biased view...of course tagalogs wont look asian at all even compared to dark brown rural thai people...but visayans even from rural areas can look NEA....only urban thai look NEA...as shown buy all the examples that nuatpong shows....the only chinese looking ones were from urban areas...or universities catered to rich chinese students
Rich ????? compare the economic facts of the country first before you gonna say "Rich or Poor"

Here are the list of 8 countries in this comparison in order from richest to poorest base on GPD.
1.Malaysia :GPD $ 16,200. Population below poverty line 3.8%.
2.Thailand :GPD $ 9,400. Population below poverty line 8.1%.
3.Indonesia :GPD $ 4,700. Population below poverty line 12.5%.
4.Philipine :GPD $ 4,100. Population below poverty line 26.5%.
5.Vietnam :GPD $ 3,400. Population below poverty line 14.5%.
6.Laos :GPD $ 2,800. Population below poverty line 26%.
7.Cambodia :GPD $ 2,200. Population below poverty line 31%.
8.Burma :GPD $ 1,300. Population below poverty line 32.7%.
So those are "REAL FACTS" study and learn about it, so you maybe become smarter ejay1.
In overall you The Philipine is poorer than Thailand. Lesser poor people in Thailand, More poor people in The Philipine. So overall Thais have better quality of life than the Filipinos.

LOL ejay will say that those "monk" are rich people, bcause they don't look like Cambodian/Malay he likes to post LOL. Only rural people in Thailand for ejay are those who looks Cambodian/Malay if you don't look like Khmer/Malay then you aren't rural LOL.
I hope people can stop this insanity of posting cherry picked photos now.
I myself look East Asian. I cannot count the number of times people speak to me in Japanese when I am in Japan or people speak to me in Korean when I am in Korea, thinking am a local there. I have been to Bangkok and I can easily blend in. However, I felt I did not blend in that well in Roxas City or Kalibo (both in Panay, Western Visayas). I can blend in easier in Iloilo City and Bacolod City due to the larger Chinese communities there. So there, I have not been to other places in Thailand outside of Bangkok, but certainly there are more East Asian looking people there (because a huge percent really are of East Asian descent) than the Philippines.

again the rich lifestyle is in urban thailand-bangkok where there are large chinese communities...the real ethnic thai are the brown skinned farmers in rural areas...which are not rich

okay thailand has a bigger chinese community...but we are talking about ethnic thai here not chinese thai
so shall I say that malays are even more east asian looking...because 25 % of their population is made up of chinese-malaysians...while thailand only has 14% chinese population
so malays are more east asian then thai...case in point.....not
if we compare rural people from both areas....Visayans from the Philippines and Non-chinese thai people....you would most likely find that visayans have a considerable amount of EA looking people...and thai do not
since thailands EA descent people are actually concentrated in bangkok
