    No, a lack of Austronesian features.

    Do you think she could pass as a local in Southeast Asia (Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Indonesia...)? She is an ethnic Saami/Sami from Norway. Here is a typical Thai woman for comparision:

    Many of them are blonde and blue-eyed due to outsider admixture, but the woman I posted is atypical. Coon and some other contemporary anthropologists said that the Norwegian and Swedish Saami had the highest rate of dark hair colors, but many also had light eyes. She's probably among the most Asian looking ones.

    Yep. She could pass as half and half but these are not features found anywhere near that part of the Asian continent when considering only unmixed people.

    I have always wondered if certain Southeast Asians could pass in Northern Europe along these mixed areas.

    But I think she could be regarded as foreign looking in Burma or Thailand. The skin tone isn't so unusual, but the relatively long head might be noticeable, something more common among Mongolians and Northern Chinese with distant Turkic ties or something.
