Kit Wong is a third-generation Thai born and raised in Hong Kong.
“It feels like being caught in between, not fully a Thai nor a Hongkonger. It’s like being stranded in the middle of the road.”
Kit looks and lives just like a local young man, seamlessly integrates into Hong Kong's local culture. He participated in a reality dating show, hoping to find love and take roots in Hong Kong. He aspires to serve the community by applying to be a firefighter. Yet, he maintains strong ties to his Thai origins. He speaks fluent Thai and believes in Buddhism, the major religion in Thailand. During his childhood, he briefly became a novice monk in Chiang Mai and served a year in the Thai military.
Is he a Hongkonger, a Thai, or a Thai living in Hong Kong? How does he differ from the first and second generation Thais in the way they look at Hong Kong?
