Thailand grants citizenship to half a million people – but not farangs

[JimTripper]

Has anybody come to regret living in Pattaya and getting VD? Or moving away to another area for that reason? How about AIDS/HIV?

 

It seems like VD would be rampant in the area due to the amount of drinking and sexual activity going on, but the issue is almost never discussed.

I moved from Pattaya for this reason...to Soi Cowboy. Much better class of VD there.

I think it gets discussed quite a lot. Plenty of clinics all over the place including that big Pulse Clinic on 2nd road...

Up to the individual to take precautions...

That's because anyone in the right mind uses condoms.

One can contract all kinds of nasty stuff using a condom. They only cover a small area. Plus when you’re drunk they break, slip, not get removed correctly. The guys around Pattaya don’t seem like clean freaks.

OP must think VD only happens in Pattaya

[retarius]

I never use condoms, horrible things. Never had VD in Thailand. Caught crabs in the UK though, with a girl who looked great after about 10 pints. I should have known though......she was walking sideways and throwing sand over herself.

I don't know about the class aspect of the  VD comparison but for sure  there's more expensive   VD on Soi Cowboy.

The biggest expat lie in Pattaya is "I always glove up".  

[Ben Zioner]

For me there are 3 categories of VDs:

 

a) HIV, you shouldn't catch if you use PREP,

b) Bacterial infections which can be cured or prevented with antibiotics [beware antibiotic resistant infection may have you on drip in hospital for several days],

c) Viral infection such as HSV  or HPV most of us have anyhow.

 

Of course when you use condoms you get less exposed especially for a) & b). But if you really want to be enlightened pay a visit to one of the PULSE clinics. They are very Gay oriented, but a lot more honest about they various ways of protecting ourselves.

Good grief, only those who carelessly involve themselves in such activities without wearing a glove and spreading skank rot need to be concerned…yuck! Think of it this way, if you caught it, most likely you got it from another guy…even yuckier!

+1…anyone in their right mind would be better off developing a monogamous relationship like normal socially developed individuals and not worrying about skank rot.

You hang around the knocking shops watching the guys?

[JBChiangRai]

Most VD's are caused by SWS.

Just report him every time he posts a stupid remark. And yes, I have friends in Pattaya they all got lovely jobs working at the Hilton hotel and having their own double story house in a gated community.

Mainly anti-sex propaganda from the western world.

The reality is, that in a country where everyone takes antibiotics 4x a year, available over the counter, it's not much of a risk.

Obviously it's much worse in the west where access to antibiotics is limited by government restrictions.

Due to local deforestation IMHO.

A man was seeing his doctor. the doctor said, "I have good news and bad news." "What's the bad news?" "Your wife has syphillis." "Jeez! What could possibly be good news." "She didn't get it from you."
