Bangkok's Mexicans Gangster

 Thai gangsters are a group of people that feel very close representing by “Mexican gangsters”. They are an excellent example of cultural appropriation because they want to look like people from another subculture from another country. We can learn that stereotypes about people are very wrong in some cases. For example the stereotype of Thai gangsters suggest that they are  murderers, bad guys, drugs addict , that is people who are involved in dark business. But really the real condition is that they are people who served to society such as policeman, technician, teachers of oriental medicine and even being a government like Yu Yammatu. In spite of Thai clothes, tattoos, and hairstyles emulate those sported by real homiesthey have another beliefs and conception. They think that Mexican style reflects their life’s so well because it is very clean and easy, just a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. “The clan and simple stile” is what catch the attention of those men.


One more important thing to learn about Thai and Mexican subcultures is the feeling of friendship that predominates in the group. Everyone loves one another and all they are agree to listen hip-hop music in order to express what they are feeling.
