MAJIC Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Mr Mechai was a Politician and the original pioneer of this Condom idea,can't think why it did'nt continue? unless young people are not having sex anymore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechai_Viravaidya Edited February 3, 2015 by MAJIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai at Heart Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Funny how the supposedly right wing junta is undoing some of the more extreme yellow shirt right wingisms. Having a condom apparently makes women drop their pants and lie down ready and waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 How soon before the hallways of the school will be filled with condom balloons and the need to fill the machine often as most of the condoms soon will be sold on the streets, Thai kids are not ready for such responsibility, rather than giving free condoms it will be much better to have frequent sex education classes to hammer the message that safe sex is a necessity and not optional for the better health and future of all young people... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainarong Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 One hopes that AIDS prevention is also taught inside the classroom as a component to sex education and the reproductive system , this coupled with the prevention would make students fully understand the dangers of unprotected sex , however the dangers of promiscuity is a chance you have to take, but Mum and Dad are now let of the hook and don't have to explain what all those bits and strange things happening are all about.

webfact Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Condom vending machines to be introduced at schools, collegesBANGKOK: -- The national committee for AIDS prevention and resolution has endorsed the national condom strategy plan that will pave the way for installing condom vending machines at educational institutes across the country.The endorsement was reached at the meeting of the committee Tuesday.Deputy Prime Minister Yongyuth Yuthavong, as chairman of the national committee for AIDS prevention and resolution, said the national condom strategy allows coin-operated condom vending machines to be installed at educational institutes.The machines will first be put up at vocational education institutes, whereas other types of institutes will gradually get the vending machines within four years’ time.He said the slow pace of the implementation of the plan came amid expected opposition from civil society groups.The deputy prime minister revealed further that the meeting also endorsed the proposal for the use of technology to allow members of the public to receive ‘self-tests’ for HIV infection that would allow them to quickly access treatment channels after learning of their infection.A more detailed plan for this initiative will be yielded by June.Earlier report released by the ministry showed teenagers carried high risk to HIV infections after statistics revealed increasing number of teens among HIV patients.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/condom-vending-machines-introduced-schools-colleges -- Thai PBS 2015-02-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tukkytuktuk Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Why the need for condom machines at the school? Surely they don't have sex during class do they? You can buy condoms at the 7/11, there are no age restrictions, this suggestion by the NAC will result in one thing, condom balloon's floating around the hallways as students laugh out loud.

tonbridgebrit Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Does anybody reckon the following ? You get a school or college, right, and there's no condom machine there. Now then, you start putting condom machines in that school, well, what you might be doing is encouraging or increasing the amount of sex that goes on.Now, we know that there are girls who are fifteen and sixteen who have sex. But consider all girls who are fifteen and sixteen, do they feel comfortable at having to walk pass a condom machine everyday ? Do the boys try to use the condom machines to have sex with the girls ? The boys might not actually use a condom when having sex, but walking pass the machine with the girlfriend might give the message that sex is okay.After all, the machine over there, it's there so that we can have some sex.
