I wouldn't expect it in Thailand, but if you make it to Vietnam, and I highly suggest that you go to Vietnam, it's an amazing country, you may get a bit of... weird celebrity type stuff there. I'm pretty tall, and VERY white. I have been around SE Asia twice and when I am in Vietnam I quite often get asked by local kids in villages if they can take a picture with me, seriously. Also lots of older ladies, especially in markets, will grab my hands and tell me how beautiful my skin is. It's a strange thing but I think it is more common in Vietnam. I was confused the first few times it happened because I think Vietnamese people have freakin gorgeous skin, and so I eventually asked one of the ladies why they all say my hands are so beautiful, and she told me "Your skin is so white! We looooove white skin!!" haha, I was so embarrassed.
