Mixed Race Children in Thailand | Luk khrueng (half Thai)

Is it more acceptable now for a Thai woman to marry a foreigner or is it being discouraged by Thai families?
There is a Thai phrase “luk kreung” which translates to “half children” or half Thai, they are multinational children in Thailand.
Thirty years ago, children of Thai and non-Asian parents were looked upon with suspicion, the product of wartime relationships between American GI’s and "loose" Thai women or today people call them working girls or bar girls.
Back then, the assumption of Thais who saw a foreigner with a Thai woman was that the foreigner was a soldier and the Thai was a working girl.
But this rapidly industrializing nation has developed a taste for things Western, and stigmas are falling away. Many luk kreung with Western looks are today enjoying unprecedented success.
Like Tiger Woods and Actor model Willie McIntosh.

I'm half Thai/half white my father was in the US Air Force in the mid 70's. Obviously he met a Thai girl "my mom" she became pregnant very quickly therefore he brought her back to the USA where I was born in 75. I grew up in southern Virginia and at that time I was the only Asian or mixed kid until 6th grade. Needless to say I had a very very hard time. I love my looks I wouldn't change anything!! Also being bullied in school for being Eurasian made me tough and who I am today. EurAsian Hillbilly

So am I. Except for my dad married my mother and brought her back stateside after he was done in Vietnam. He met her in Thailand during R&R. Statistically speaking, I would have been left there. I was one of the lucky ones...I think. Brandishing that stereotype in the U.S. since 1971 was never easy though...trust me...she treated my brother and I like her meal ticket, except since I was a girl, I was the expendable one. Glad to say I came out for the better, both my brother and I. We don't speak to my bio mother at all anymore. She's' toxic and is doing time in prison for drug charges in Florida. What goes around comes around.

@@user-gf6gi7nn8q @K Sorry to hear that your family is not able to be together. Sounds like your mom had a very rough time. Those were difficult years during the war and personalities were formed just trying to survive. Perhaps give her a call and some love. Even if she rejects you she will love you for it in her heart.

[@mattmirmak]

I'm Luk Khrueng born in the USA. My dad was an Air Force officer and B-52 pilot and met my mom when he was stationed at U Tapao AB during the Vietnam War. I speak a little Thai but can understand what my mom says in Thai and English. I think I broke some Asian stereotypes in the States when I got involved with football and wrestling in high school. I suck at playing piano and most musical instruments except the kazoo. Math and science bored the shit out of me.

[@mayavan_]

I was born in Europe but I don't speak Thai or a little, but I look pretty good at an Asian(Sometimes they say that I look like a Mexican or an Arab), it's annoying because people often ask me if I speak Thai «You speak asian ? » (I know this people there are a little stupid)and when I am in Thailand they speak to me in Thai,So i understand you,They call me farang too because I don't speak Thai Sorry if my english suck (・∀・)

Do Thailand women marry Black men?

[@Keyframe5]

Yes, some women in Thailand do marry black men. Love and marriage know no bounds and people are free to choose partners based on their personal preferences and choices, regardless of race or ethnicity. In Thailand, as in many other countries, interracial marriages have become more common and socially accepted in recent years. It is important to note that all marriages should be based on mutual respect, trust, and love, regardless of the background of the partners.
