>standards of living
They are okay, I guess. If your are from America, unless you are buying a car or electronics things should be pretty cheap comparatively.
>are you guys more Indian or Chinese influenced
Language wise Thai is very influenced by Indian languages. Culturally as well seeing as over 90% of the country is Buddhist and. Among the Thai-Chinese the Chinese influence will be more apparent.
>how are Indian-looking people treated vs Chinese-looking?
Like most east and southeast Asian countries lighter skin is preferred.
>How long until you guys look first-world?
Thailand has fucked itself over pretty badly with corruption over the past couple of decades so I couldn't say.

It's a very culturally and genetically diverse place. It''s a mix of Hindu, Muslim and Christian identities as well admixture from a lot of ancient Asia.
