Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted February 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2014 And yet another hub status Thailand could achieve effortlessly. Congratulations, you're really making big strides in becoming a record holder in many, many disciplines... except those that really count for something in the eyes of the world: -- educational excellence? Zip -- human rights? Zilch -- honesty and transparency? Nada -- morals and ethics? Nyet -- respect for law and order? Dream on -- protection of the young and elderly? Pfft -- advances and innovation in science, medicine and technology? Bummer -- environmental protection? What's that -- anti-corruption drives? Ha ha ha ha -- press freedom?

96tehtarp Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The parents and grandparents and extended family members care for the babies. That's how it is in Thailand. Contraception is not really a concern or priority yet, neither is sex education. Thai people generally just let nature take its course, and everybody loves babies and small children. Where I come from these children would have to bear the stigma of being bastards. That concept is a foreign one in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thecynic Posted February 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2014 I know this will get a whole lot of people riled up - but making abortions legal will go a long way in avoiding many of these unwanted, unplanned babies. I will never understand how being born to a 9 year old mother (who is a child herself) is better than being aborted. How many 9 year old girls, or their parents, will say no to the procedure if it is safe for the mother involved. And as far as the child is concerned, he/she will be spared what, in many cases, will turn out to be a lifetime of struggle and unhappiness. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robininbkk Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 What a surprise! not really. One has to be staying in Thailand long enough to been around would have noticed the little kids and babies appearing on every corner. It's funny to see 7-11's and pharmacy's full of condoms on sale, but I have yet to see a Thai buy one. Only farangs seems to buy them AND use them. Most of the unplanned pregnancies must be from the lower class echelon of Thai society. The majority of this class striggles to surive on the minimum wages and pays. Even so, humans are humans and we have our primal desires. Why even waste money on condoms or contraception. A pack of condoms in general costs almost a day's work, it varies from person to person, but in generality of this class. Take care of the responsibilities as a father? What's that? Is there even a concept of ''responsibility'' in the minds of Thais? They will just wham bam thank you madam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been travelling around Thailand and have seen the same shit going on everywhere. Youngsters with their ''pak waan'' and the girls fall for it everytime! I know a girl who is 25 and has 3 little kids. She told me from 3 different (Thai) fathers and all one night stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
