lovelomsak Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) When I first coming to Thailand many wats had vendors at the exits and entrances of wats selling phallic symbols carved from wood of various sizes for sale. Pattaya used have a shrine near the wharf with lots of phallic symbols used for worship, the girls would burn incense and make offerings to the shrine.. Now it is illegal to have phallic symbols quite a change is society here. Search Chae Mae Tuptim and see phallic symbols are part of Thai culture.

WitawatWatawit Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thailand's latest soap opera. Were the staff screaming and frothing at the mouth? Were the police in a lather and shouting "Oy-see"? Did handsome Sgt Nop stand before his boss and declare: "A successful operation, sir. The dastardly coward of an owner of the soap penis shop has come clean."

ttthailand Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 What about the wooden lucky dicks and the toys where you push on the guy's head and the little dick shoots out? They are for sell along the streets and in most tourist shops. Hanging in every bar is also a wooden dick which they use for luck and rub between the girl workers legs, should these bars be busted?

lovelomsak Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Last week in our village they held an annual ritual sort of thing I didnot quite understand but the wife said it has to do with fertility. Well at this festival they paraded to the wat and back twice.Each time there were 3 old women "grannies" running around with huge wooden phallics poking everyone and laughing. The women and phallics were a big part of the festival. At the wat there must have been more than 20 stored under a religious statue. So whats so wrong with soap shaped that way?

Sviss Geez Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 "Piyapong said Chon Buri tourist police had received a lot of complaints that the two shops were selling illegal and obscene goods and one of the shops is located near a temple and a school." Can't any of you lot that think these are insignificant arrests by the police read? The reason was very clearly stated in the OP today, as it was yesterday. Leave aside the banal, laddish remarks and ask yourselves whether you would be comfortable having those soap items on display to your children? I certainly wouldn't want my 7 and 8 year old girls to be put in that position and anyone who says that they wouldn't be bothered about it has something seriously wrong with them.
