Thai Cops on Alert for Underage Kissing

(Mon, Feb/12/2007)

BANGKOK, Thailand - A word of advice to young Thai lovers on Valentine's Day: No kissing in public. Bangkok police say they plan to protect underage couples from the sting of Cupid's arrow, and will crack down on what is deemed to be "inappropriate" behavior.

Patrols will start after school hours in "high-risk areas," like public parks, shopping malls and restaurants and expand in the evening to include nightclubs, bars and so-called love motels, which rent small rooms for short periods of time, said Police Lt. Vorawat Amornviwat of the Metropolitan Police Bureau.

"If we find teenagers below 18 engaged in inappropriate behavior like kissing, we will give them warnings and report to their parents so they can pick them up," he said. "Alcohol is definitely a catalyst for this kind of behavior, so we will keep an eye on underage drinking."

The Metropolitan Police force has also asked nightclub and bar owners to help by turning away underage customers.

"These places are not meant for kids," he said, adding that Valentine's Day required extra vigilance "because they seem to be more vulnerable to sexual temptations on this particular night."

The crackdown on public displays of affection is the latest effort to balance the country's look-the-other-way tolerance with Buddhist values of modesty and manners.

Over the weekend, the Culture Ministry issued what it called the "10 Commandments of Love" to encourage teens not to engage in sexual activities while celebrating Valentine's Day. The first commandment: "Love with patience, so as not to become a young parent." No. 4 urges youths to love carefully "to avoid the risk of sexually transmitted diseases."

kissing police is western? :o

No. Police enforcing idiotic and petty laws, and having a society lacking in personal freedom is becoming more and more western.

And what western country do you live in? West Timor? One of the more amazing posts I've read lately.

As for the Thai police being on the alert for underage kissing, I don't think the kids will have much to worry about. The Royal Thai Police are among the most "non-alert" police in Asia, especially when they want to be. I think catching underage kids smootching is at the upper end of their capabilities.

I agree. I am against public affection. Only because no woman wants to be seen in public with me. Make it hard for everyone.

The last woman to kiss me in public should have been arrested. She was uuuuuuuugly! What a liberty, she didn't even ask me!
