Teens Should Spend Valentine In Temples: Official

We're in the year 2014,...

[Mason45]

It's all very well for the good Doctor to suggest that young couples should spend Valentines day in temples but try telling that to young Somchai when he's got a raging hard on.

[promatrix]

Why do they only have sex on valentines day? Thai kids seem a little strange if they only do it once per year.

No, they do it 365 times per year ...

... but they do it all on Valentines day.

[Always18]

You really couldn't make this kind of bolleux up if you tried....................Thai officials at their mindless, mouth-frothing best!

[CelticBhoy]

I guess all the Jimmy Savilles will

be hanging around the temples Friday.

At least those whose boyfriends are monks.

And coyote dancers.

[Dogmatix]

The usual pathetic head in the sand attitude. Meanwhile, teen pregnancies and HIV infections continue to rise. Sad.

Dr Pongthep should go to a monastery himself for the rest of his life and spare society his moronic utterances.

[Sydebolle]

Well, yes, that is where those girls are safe.

Is this monk with Learjet and Rolls-Royce back in town to give a speech on immaculate conception. During this time I suggest to keep those men of the cloth which are in the process of being defrocked anytime soon as soon as there is someone filing a complaint for sexual misconduct - at bay in the opposite corner of the sala.

Must be the Ministroy of Pre-Jesus-Christ-Affairs which blubbers such B/S. And to all those youngsters out there, enjoy Valentine wherever you want and should it happen then ensure having condoms on hand.

Good luck the government did not explicitly prohibit intercourse on Valentine - or any other day for that matter - just yet!

[belg]

if thai mentality is to keep the kids stupid about sex, than you get figures like this

sadly, my wife is one of those stupids that thinks talking about sex, condoms, prevention, would be faciliating sex... as she has a uni degree from chula (not that she is so smart, as it is in geographics, loooooooooooooool)

Officials Should Spend Valentine At Home, Not At Soapies: Teens

[lostmebike]

That so many kids get pregnant, only shows me, how much this culture has failed.

Amazing for this so called conservative 'but we are Thai!' culture.

[lucifer666]

Is this the reason that my missus ( a teacher of teenagers) has taken all her students to a temple for the next few days ?

[casindonet]

How about get them to stay in the temple till they reach the age of 21. The roads & streets would be safer for tourists.

"Dr. Ponthep added that surveys also pointed to younger age in which Thai teenagers experienced their first sexual intercourse, from 18-19 year old in 1996 to 13-15 year old in 2012."

This statistic seems suspect - if anything, more provincial girls would have been sold into marriage at age 13-15 back then than is currently the fashion?? Or are they sold into prostitution now instead of good old Thai marriage?

[Somtamnication]

Got a surprise for this Thai official: The 7-11 next to my wat sells condoms. Just sayin'.

[bigbamboo]

Nah - temples have extensive grounds, quiet corners and are deserted.

Try a protest site instead - much more effective at atrophying libido.

Surprised that Suthep has not thought of this as a way to boost numbers public service.

Oops - update - he has, well done him.

Attending the demos in the 60s ensured I always had lots of nubile young females to go home with.

Ah....but those were the days of free love, Harry! Unfortunately that doesn't exist in Thailand.

Free.......no way.......all those expensive meals......and had to run a large car to have a suitible back seat.

[englishoak]

Education, education. it could be worse here.

[Prbkk]

Buddha Issara has agreed to give a master class on interrogation techniques for teenage street thugs. That will be popular

In the land of Buddhism even courtesans are often regular temple visitors.

[quagmirefg]

Can't leave people to decide for themselfs to observe the religeous holiday or not that coincides with Valentine day.

While they're at it, why not a law that only fish can be eaten or served on fridays.

Are Clams (speculated Aphrodesiac) considered Fish, or will they also ban that on fridays if they enacted that rule?

[PaullyW]

I didn't think sex was was allowed in Thai temples?

Would be awesome though, with a nice Thai teen no less. Exotic.
