According to 🇮🇩 Indonesian media, Tony Jaa from 🇹🇭 Thailand looks like a Javanese man and probably has Indonesian ancestry because he "doesn't look Thai"
Tony Jaa is a Thai martial artist, actor, action choreographer, stuntman, director, and traceur. Best known for his martial arts films, he is credited with helping establish the Thai action genre worldwide.
According to some comments from Indonesian netizens Tony Jaa doesn't look like a typical Thai but Javanese look and blend easily in Indonesia. Many Indo netizens assumed Tony Jaa probably has Javanese blood since Javanese people migrated to Thailand in the past and 116 year-old Jawa Mosque exist in in Bangkok CBD, Thailand.
However, Tony Jaa was born and raised in a rural area in Surin Province and not from Bangkok.
