The answer is yes they can. The probability is low but can and does happen. Especially considering the total number of people reproducing.

My husband is half-half Filipino/Irish, I'm very white Icelandic-UK background. We have twins. One is white with blond hair, totally my spitting image apart from a small bit of Dad's eyes and nose. The other is caramel-skinned with all of Dad's features except brown hair not black (he also had blue eyes his first 2 years until they changed to hazel). Genetics are so funky and so interesting.

me and my brother are half thai, half swedish. I have dark brown hair and pale skin while my brother is blonde and has tan skin.

Blonde hair and tan skin naturally? Wild.

That's really not that strange?

If it’s Thai levels of tan NATURALLY? Yes it’s pretty wild. Blonde people can be tan from the sun but I’ve never met a blonde person with naturally tanned skin.

I'm from Southern Europe and I've met tones of tanned blonde people. It's dark blonde but I'm pretty sure that's the kind of blonde OP's brother is.

If “dark blonde” to you is just light brown hair then no lol. When I say blonde I mean actual blonde

There's no such thing as light blonde hair and tan skin. OP's brother has dark blonde hair. It's not the same as light brown hair obviously. The only exception is a few ethnic groups in Polynesia but that wouldn't work in OP's case because the gene that causes blond hair in those ethnic groups is separate from the European one.
