Thailand Rolls Out Free Condoms to Teens for Safe Valentine’s
Why are Thai girls not introduced to berth control methods, and get proper education not from the old 60 year old bat or the young 22-year-old barbie girls The challenge is that the girls cannot turn or get assistance anywhere. Thailand needs a Sunday night Sex with Sue call-in show. Imagine if a TV station promoted that with the same rules that Sue Johansen had, HIV/'STD screening should be free and available to all teens starting at Mat 1. Being teen girl in Thailand to me is worse than being a teen girl in the 60's and 70's in Canada. Can you imagine girls going to mom to talk about sex when she really only has the 2 minute 3-inch wonder and the OLD school taboos to go by Maybe that would be a good job for some of the older Bar girls sex education for girls in Nat schools so they know what they are getting into. -

Thailand Introduces Biometric SIM Registration to Curb Scams
Picture courtesy: Thai PBS The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is launching a stern clampdown on unauthorised SIM cards and the digital rogues behind online scams. With the introduction of biometric identification for SIM card registration, fraudulent SIM dealers are now on notice. Those breaching this new system could face crippling penalties. In a country where more than half of the population relies on prepaid SIM cards, this initiative could revolutionise how mobile subscriptions operate in Thailand. Floating predictions previously foresaw 94 million mobile subscriptions by 2025. However, this expectation is now tempered by a projected 19% decline, with numbers settling around 77.8 million subscribers. This adjusted vision considers a post-registration world where the subscriber rate per 100 people aligns at roughly 100%. Thailand's current mobile penetration rate stands impressively at 140%. This figure is expected to drop to 111% as the biometric registration system eliminates numerous unauthorised multiple SIM card users and dodgy practices. Nonetheless, doubts remain as to whether crafty users might still find loopholes, potentially impacting the forecast. Drawing comparisons with other nations, Thailand might witness a substantial dip, echoing the 25% reduction experienced by the Philippines in 2024 during a similar registration process. The possibility of a mobile market contraction hovers as factors such as legislative changes and various SIM ownership complicate clarity. Despite this uncertainty, the mobile market is anticipated to rebound. By 2034, it's projected to regain a penetration rate of 131%, equating to an estimated 91.6 million subscribers. With emerging markets already navigating the choppy waters of multiple SIM registrations and accompanying regulations, upcoming shifts in forecasts are quite likely. While the introduction of biometric authentication is hailed by regulators as a necessary step to cut down on fraud, it poses a conundrum for mobile operators who face increased operational costs to maintain compliance with these stringent measures. Initially, this translates to temporary pressure on their profit margins as they adapt to the new systems. Failure to adhere to these new regulations would attract considerable fines, albeit a financial challenge for any non-compliant network providers. This analysis is brought to you by BMI, a part of Fitch Solutions, with no affiliation to Fitch Ratings' Credit Ratings framework. The data and insights stem independently from BMI and affiliated sources. As Thailand navigates this biometric frontier, the nation sets its sights on a more secure and streamlined digital communication landscape, with hopes of eliminating fraudulent activities and reinforcing its mobile market structure, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-11 -

Water filter help, in Pattaya.
There's a water filter shop halfway along Thepprasit on the north side, between Soi Kopai (Soi 6) and the PTT station. You can take the photos and whatever else you have along there and they should be able to tell you what you need.
