It's official: Thailand fails the most at monogamy
By Coconuts Bangkok



Like your grandparents always said, nothing’s true until it’s made into an infographic.

BANGKOK: -- In a statistical revelation unlikely to surprise anyone anywhere, Thailand was found to have the highest rate of unfaithfulness between lovers and partners than any other nation or at least copping to it.

Over 56 percent of married Thais of all sexes who responded to a Match.com survey admitted to committing adultery, data used to create a handsome infographic by The Independent.

Thailand was the only Asian country to make the list with the rest being nations of Europe.

Congratulations Thailand. Your officially Number 1.

[WitawatWatawit]

Can't be true. Thailand is the hub of promises AND vows, isn't it?

[bkkjames]

High Infidelity - Reo speedwagon wasn't it?

[Fiddlesticks]

Thailand also ranks number one in being stupid enough to admit to having affairs. In fact, gotta think they rank first in stupid in a whole lot of areas.

[bkkjames]

the other 46% didn't admit it? gotta read between these lines or the coconut might fall on yer head

"Over 56 percent of married Thais of all sexes who responded to a Match.com survey admitted to committing adultery..."

Thailand also came in first for having 44% of its people lying when taking surveys.

"It's official" based on a Match.com survey?

This isn't a site Thais normally use. The only people using Match.com in Thailand are chicks fishing for farang. Who obviously are not average and are going to have tons of hookers and professional farang girlfriends in the mix.

[canuckamuck]

Finally an international number one standing and no one cheated - oh, wait a minute.!

Thailand: the hub of infidelity

[iReason]

HuB of Mia Noi.

They admit it because they are proud of it.

I can't tell you how many Thai guys boast to me about their Mia.

And 68% think corruption is normal.

[trogers]

Those drive-in motels are a huge help. One near every village in the provinces.

Thailand fails at most things

[SiSePuede419]

Match.com is based out of Texas, and I've watched enough episodes of JR Ewing's antics on "Dallas" to be suspicious that Texas ain't on the list, much less the rest of Murica...

[aTomsLife]

Such irony, how Thais are so honest about admitting to their infidelity.

[whatawonderfulday]

At last Thailand can claim to be hub of something without fear of contradiction or claims of bullshit

" Thailand, the hub of getting a bit on the side "

It's only 68% because the other 32% are too busy in their corrupt activities to answer the survey.

SurvEy by match.com, what are you doing in there if you are married except to cheat

[FangFerang]

The keyword is "admitted" -- sociologists say in the US 3 of 5 marriages survive an affair (that beats Thais admitted by a percent).

[spidermike007]

In America most would be too prudish to admit infertility in a survey. Maybe the Thais are more frank about this, for some reason?

[Loles]

How much BST does come again from cocoNUT ?

Wait a minute. Are you insinuating that hookers are not the faithful type?

[uptheos]

Everyone's got a mia noi or second girl/boy friend, so it makes sense for them to be top.

Was it ever in doubt?

[FredNL]

They forgot to mention that from the other 44% only 40% lied...

[AnotherOneAmerican]

Those drive-in motels are a huge help. One near every village in the provinces.

And allegedly 300+ in Chiang Mai.

[DM07]

I will not believe it, unless it is a Dusit Poll...or NIDA....they always ring true!

[SoFarAndNear]

Probably these statistics forget to mention Islamic countries where monogamy and marriage with many women are legally...

[CWMcMurray]

Doesn't mean they have the most affairs... Just that they have the most people who admit it.

This speaks to social norms rather than actual infidelity.

As in western countries, infidelity is seen as a very bad thing that most would not want to admit to.

In Thailand it is done more openly, with less judgement. So more people in Thailand willing to admit

Sounds like a book project in the making.
