Teenagers have been warned not to engage in inappropriate sexual behaviour or unsafe sex during the Loy Krathong Festival.

 

The Public Health Ministry's Department of Health deputy chief Dr Bancha Khakhong said on Thursday that young people usually release flowery floats into rivers and water sources at night during the festival and then hang out or attend booze-drinking parties. This impairs their judgement and self-control and poses a risk of unprotected sex that could lead to unwanted pregnancy and STDs.

 

Bancha urged boys to be responsible and use condoms.

 

Young women could also take emergency birth-control pills sold over-counter to reduce the chance of pregnancy, the official said, warning that such medicine however isn't for regular use as it was less effective compared to other methods.

 

"The best way is to restrain one's emotion, refrain from sex or have protected sex, and to be aware of the issue of premature sex and subsequent problems," Bancha said.

 

Families can provide good advice to youngsters about appropriate interaction with members of the opposite sex, and Thailand's traditional values of reserving themselves and the respectful treatment of women and girls, the officials said.

Bancha urged boys to be responsible and use condoms.

Ok sorted. 

 

When I was a teen, safe sex was stopping and parking the car before proceeding.

You must have been a late starter, 

I was only allowed a bicycle at my age.

It makes the girls inconceivable. Where as total abstinence  makes them impregnable.

"Bancha urged boys to be responsible and use condoms.

All you ever needed to know about sex-ed in Thailand!

Ridiculous!

Fortunately there will be tens of thousands of police around to ensure that none of the teens enjoy themselves.

 

 

Prayut needs to issue a new order under Sexion 69

Try a bit of kite flying to quell the urge abit .?

But it's ok for all other days of the year, although during songkran you should also be a little careful, but other than that - go for, get the leg over as everything is ok. 

Just had unsafe against a wall.  Should be okay.

When I was a teen safe sex was being woken up in your car at a drive in theatre at end of a movie by an attendant 

 

 

 

Why this warning about Loy Krathong ? Is it more sex going on than during Songkran ? I don't think so . 

Or any weekends with horny teens.

So they've managed to pinpoint the cause.

I'm surprised one the "top" universities hasn't claimed it as a newly discovered breakthrough in preventing unwanted pregnancies

 

its only one night boys. you can enjoy yourselves the rest of the year.

What a truly bizarre (yet fully expected) release.

They haven't solved all the other pressing problems as yet, it's on the "to do list".

Deputy Chief's of government departments are usually over-shadowed by the all-seeing Chief who have the right to make numerous stupid comments,  so guess this was his opportunity to state the bleeding obvious as if he had made a major break-through in the field of human studies, so go easy on his ego.

Hope they TEXTED the Warning....or.....

How about Printing it on a GIANT FLYING, ILUMINATED CONDOM?

I wonder how many of these moralizing ministry level bureaucrats have giks, support mia nois, and/or hang out at karaoke bars and private clubs which are loosely fronts for prostitution.

Ahhh, but first there will have to be lengthy investigations, after which numerous meetings with all stakeholders to discuss the social implications, after which the Thai patent office will inform the university that foreigner interests have already filed numerous patent applications addressing their 'newly discovered breakthrough'.

I like that bluesofa , I will try to remember it . Lots of bangs last night but only bothered my ears . TW visiting rellies and the only bangs I get are preceded by a quick flash followed by smoking.

A post commenting on moderation has been removed. 

I’m sure all the teens in Thailand read the news. Glad this was sorted.

Whatever floats their boat. . . 

Male Thais, having no paternity gene, practice premature exit; before the baby is born.

The most effective birth control is an aspirin. Yes, an aspirin. 

When the girl holds it tightly between her knees, the chances of pregnancy are nil.
