at15 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 which province would have darker skin on average. Sakon Nakhon vs Ubon Ratchathani. I thought Ubon, but people are telling me Sakon because of some Khmer influence. Where as Ubon is all Lao influence with lighter skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youreavinalaff Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Sakon Nakorn, Khmer influence???? No. Lao and a very large contingent of descendants of Vietnamese immigrants. Khmer influence mainly in Sissakhet, Surin, Buriram and SaKeaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say there wasn't. I did, however, point out that the influences of Sakon Nakorn are Laos and Vietnamese. Unlikely to have Khmer influence due to it's geographic location. Ubon would be more likely to have Khmer influence than Sakorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

at15 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 sakon and ubon were both important khmer empires way back when but maybe everything fell by the wayside when lao took over. if anyone has historical data about the migration patterns it would be appreciated.

Neeranam Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 North isarn are lighter. Also they have shorter legs, which is the Laos influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
