iainiain101 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I was out with my two children on Sunday walking through Airport Plaza. We entered through the outside entrance, looked at the fish tank, liked the look of the Mercs on display, and moved on towards TOPS. I did not really understand what the next display was about, though the 'demo' boys and girls seemed attired in the same way as the Merc girls. I accepted a handout, about the same size as a Lipton tea bag square in an individual wrapper, but they would not give my 4 year old daughter one. She was upset, but I explained that children were not allowed tea, and just slipped mine in my pocket. I remember thinking, bad advertising job, not a word in English. I never gave it another thought until changing my shorts the next day for the laundry. I found it and thought , 'what sort of tea is it?' I oppened the package to find a plastic wrapper containing a condom! What sort of people hand out condoms to unsuspecting parents in a plaza? My wife was away at the time, but had she found this I may not been alive now! This sort of thing should be stopped as it could lead to fatalities!!!

Satcommlee Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Note to self... If Mrs catches me with a Condom.. I thought it was a tea bag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Had similar done to me in a Bangkok Bank branch a couple of years ago. Same as the OP about the size of a teabag, only this one was in a hard packet and old thicko here honestly believed it was a packet of matches. When I arrived home, not giving this a second thought I just left the packet on our kitchen table. The next day my grass of a son approached the girlfriend and said; mum! Look what Dad`s brought home? When the girlfriend opened the packet, inside was this glowing bright blue condom. I really couldn`t believe what I was seeing. Luckily the packet had Bangkok Bank printed all over it and jokingly said to the girlfriend, that now instead of the bank giving interest, they provide a new service, the customer gets to shag the managers daughter. Anyhow, we all had a good laugh about it. This is Thailand and we never know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I once had a friend that went home drunk to his wife while still wearing a condom. They're divorced now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellred Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Good thing you didn't get the 2 mixed up. Could have ruined a perfectly good tea bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamhc Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 This is Thailand and we never know what to expect. If this had happened around Songkran time, just says it was a waterproof cover for your mobile phone! As for handing out to certain families, maybe they have been watching the child and do not want the parents to make the same mistake TWICE! .

IanForbes Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Great story, iain. Thanks for the laugh. I gotta pay for my condoms. I never tried a tea bag for one, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I remember thinking, bad advertising job, not a word in English Agreed. My native language is Swahili and it always miffs me when they leave me out. Every advertising campaign in every country in the world should be done in every other language, or at LEAST a minimum of English, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin and every ASEAN language. Bare minimum. Just what are they thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxpirant Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Sort of reminds me of the recommendation I had to go to Cabbages and Condoms in Soi 12 Sukhumvit, many years ago when it was good quality food, great service, and not a farang rip off trap. A friend who had been told me of it and said, "The cabbages taste great but the condoms are a touch chewy!"

infernalman7 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Not a word in English? Errrmmm... this is Thailand, and you may not even be part of their target market in the first place. Be greatful. At least it's free! And if you don't want it, it's not that hard to just throw it away.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) In cases like these, people who are actually known to be naughty on occasion have the advantage, because they will have developed a routine to triple-check evey molecule that makes it into their car or home.
