Women under 20 can now get a free contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) at all private and state hospitals connected with Thailand’s National Health Security Office (NHSO), according to Dr. Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoenchai, director-general of the Health Services Department.

 

He explained that the IUD is a highly effective contraceptive as it is convenient, remains in place for a long time and does not interrupt sex or daily activities.

 

There are two types of IUD. One lasts about three years and the other for 5 after insertion and can be removed after expiry.

Porn and sex toys are illegal, because sex is bad and immoral and goes against Thai culture. 

 

But here's some free IUDs for any girls that want them under 20.

 

So, the gogo bars are opening again soon?

 

There are more flip flops in government policy than on a Thai beach.

 

 

This is the same Alphabet Soup Name doctor that said last week that drinking alcohol makes it easier to catch the covid lurgy because the pharynx opens up.

 

I posted then that he was confusing his pharynx with his sphincter and speaking from the latter.  

 

He obviously has an issue (read fetish) with bodily apertures.  Pharynx, sphincter, and now the uterus.

 

Next week he'll be addressing the meatus (pronounced somewhat ironically as me-ate-us).  Hands up if you can understand that one without google being your friend.

 

Anus will be his specialist topic next month on TV's Brains of Thailand.

I must tell this to the wife to relay to our returned bar girls in the village. Ah, who needs Channel 3, when after work I just sit in front of the house with a beer, watching the drama unfold in our soi.

 

Having lost their previous livelihoods, the young ladies are expected to at least lend a hand, having graciously been given a roof over their heads, and modest sustenance. Just wash the dishes, sweep the floors, do some laundry. As you know, such is getting difficult for their 70+ grandparents. Yet this has been met with a lot of scowling and complaining. They're just too good for such things.

 

The girls say, oh, but they are working, just couldn't sell any food by the road for a few hours in the morning. So grandpa digs in his pockets, and hands them a few baht. It's sad and pathetic. Spoiled brats. The result of years of thousands of baht tossed at them nightly.

 

So their parents and grandparents then stepped up their complaining, why can't you do a little housework? And the response is much like I saw of some teenagers back in the States, "Fine, I'm moving out". They're going to their Thai BFs in the neighboring villages, where I'm sure the same conflicts will eventually be repeated. Only this time, the BFs will be expecting something obvious in return, heh, and thus they'd better have those IUDs in place. They're barely feeding the mouths they've got already.

Pregnancies will decrease from this, but STDs will increase.

 

Decrease the price of condoms, that would be a much better option for less than 20 year olds.
