Squeegee Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Well, it's a really interesting experience to be in a country to watch it go back into the dark ages like this.... I just hope I'm out by the time the real poop hits the fan. Right now it's like a variation on quiet before the storm, the Comedy Before The Tragedy. Get your laughs in now whilst you still can.

jaltsc Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 What about the infamous Thai ladyboys and katoey students? They make up about 30% of the student populations. Well, members of governments have a habit of making laws which benefit their own interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geodesic Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I think this is actually a very clever move by the government. Nobody is going to pay any attention to protesting about some meaningless democratic ideology when they have a real issue that directly affects them. In one stroke of the pen the government has now crippled any anti coup protests. Students will now be rallying at the protests against the very tangible law that prevents them from rutting like weasles. The approximately 7 or so students who actually support the Shiniwatras and would like to continue to protest the coup have now been rendered completely irrelevant. I actually have to hand it to Prayuth. He is smarter than people give him credit for. A non negligible percentage of students by their very nature are contrarian. Give them a harmless but very real battle to fight that hits close to home, and they'll spend their time doing that rather than dreaming up obscure philosophical ones that are too nuanced for them to really understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A1Str8 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Good. After 25 they might have enough brains to use a condom when they have sex. Then there wouldn't be so baby babies passed onto the grandparents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobileContent Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Doesn't matter, if students want to bang around they can do it for 300 Baht for a short term experience of 2 hours at a nearby resort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudolfvaselino Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sukhumvit Soi 23 end has a female university and most ladies have jobs in the evening hours at Cowboi. This government is the most hypocrite in decades. What a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Sukhumvit Soi 23 end has a female university and most ladies have jobs in the evening hours at Cowboi. This government is the most hypocrite in decades. What a joke. Wow you've reached 39 posts - all pretty much a waste of cyberspace. But I guess it's builds your quota. In reality, and you know it, the policy is not aimed at girls who have jobs in soi cowboy, in fact you post is dishonest and misleading, deliberately no doubt. There is a serious teen pregnancy problem in Thailand (been in the news again just recently) and this includes girls from all walks of life. There will no doubt many parents in all countries who are non too happy about their teen daughters being able to easily visit / stay with teen boys and happy that someone is trying to do something to slow down the teen pregnancy problem.

englishoak Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I think fair enough. If this is university owned premises they can set whatever rules they like. Student rooms should be single occupancy. Thus, no permenent rooming. Except its not the Uni making these new rules. Dangerous precedent to set, Asia has a habit of banning relationships and exercising control over who can be with who. Not so long ago you could be arrested in both Laos and Vietnam for having a relationship with a national. Even here its not so long ago it was not allowed to share a room with a Thai national, many hotels would simply refuse mixed Thai/foreigner couples and im not talking about the working girl kind either but normal GF and even wives. Another step huge backwards as per usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoNiaw Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 It's not really much if a step backwards because there are already existing rules. Maybe it's only the age that is the change here or the requirement for separate buildings? I think at present they can be on different floors of the same building.

BritTim Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 A Thai male can however marry and have sex with a 13 year old girl as long as the parents agree. Gives you a sense of perspective, doesn't it. That is correct. But, if I remember correctly, they are then banned from university education unless they get divorced. Presumably, this is to ensure the young couple with three kids will never be able to get decent jobs in the future. The new measure will ensure that any divorce is genuine, and they cannot continue as a nuclear family. TIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The PM seems to be preoccupied with the personal habits and standards of the homogenous Thai people. As if he feels the past slipping away. Control. Ability to, therein. A quickening into the nothingness of an unknown future, and he's the only one left, empowered by greatness, hanging on tooth and nail, screaming with exertion, sweat stinging his eyes as it slips against his grasp, ever closer to the edge of inevitability. Fears of greatness denouncing his failure to save the Nation. A recurring dream he wakes from at 3am, drenched, 4 times a week. His wife bitching at him every night for waking her up. No wonder he's not happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxLee Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) If you can't solve a problem, restrict it, ban it, or shut it down. Typical Junta mentality: youngsters are stupid and full of crap and don't deserve any right to express for changes.... So they must be treated like babies until the day they die. One of these days, we have an entire army sue wiling our children in each and every house surveying our lives until the day we die,... Come on youngsters, Rebel about it in social media, until the military shuts the Internet down....

ttthailand Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Since this is for higher education students shouldn't they just have a mandatory class or two teaching responsible behavior, morals and values. It wouldn't hurt to also mention cheating on tests while they are at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttthailand Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 It's funny that the government looks at people as babies and not responsible until 25 years old. Ask a Thai girl and she will say she is already old if over 25. They go from baby to old with no middle age .... TIT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the same sort of quality product exists here. Maybe this country is still hiding from its own reality. Japan has, apparently, embraced it's reality and created a whole new industry to support it. Fancy that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greer Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 As far as I have seen thus far, the age of majority is 20. Therefore after that age, they are adults and can do as they wish. The age of consent is supposedly 15, but I also see that it may be 18... Either way, once they are adult that's it. This can be enacted as a law in a government run dormitorium, but if they choose to live together elsewhere...tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
