Why is Thailand basically close to the tropics and people still look white and tender?

Today, tourism has become a very common thing, and the places where people travel are not limited to China. Many people always list Thailand as the first destination when choosing a destination for traveling abroad, because this country is cheap in consumption and has distinctive prices. More importantly, it is close to our country and the tourism industry is highly developed. However, many people have a curious place after going to Thailand. Thailand is obviously close to the equator, so it is a tropical country. Why do many people there have fair skin?

Generally speaking, according to our understanding, people in tropical areas should have darker skin, but some Thais, like Europeans and Americans, are not only beautiful, but also very white. In fact, whether Thai skin is white or not has something to do with genes. As we all know, Thailand is a country with a large number of immigrants, and many Europeans and Americans have settled there. They and their hybrids born in Thailand have fair and delicate skin. Most Thai natives have dark skin. Then you may understand why many Thais are beautiful and fair.

In fact, there is another reason besides genes: the gap between the rich and the poor. Thailand is a country with a big gap between the rich and the poor. See how a family can see a thing or two from their skin. In Thailand, the intensity of sunlight is very strong. Generally speaking, people who work outside for a long time must have darker skin. If a Thai is not a mixed-race and fair-skinned, then his family is generally either rich or expensive. Because there is no need to work hard outside in the scorching sun, it is naturally white.
