ghworker2010 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 We were in the new high class 'Siam Discovery' shopping centre in bangas recently and my baby was in a pram. 2 guys walked up and started looking at my baby sleeping. One was holding a large baby doll and was stroking it as if it was real. They could have been Thai or Japanese- they were definitely homosexuals. It was funny to watch them and see other people looking at them. Have you ever seen grown men carrying around a fake baby doll before? Would they have recently escaped a pysch ward? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterw42 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 This time of the year all the university freshmen are out and about doing initiation things, some have to dress up, wear a stupid hat all day etc. It may be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It is called Luk Thep. A celebrity showed up on a TV show some time back, with one of these fabulously ridiculous dolls. He talked about the monk blessing it, and installing a real soul inside it. He claimed it was alive. It became a nationwide phenomenon, with the airlines going as far as developing seating policy for these stupid dolls. Many are still drinking the kool aid. My guess, is that most of these people do not have real lives. Whether or not the men were gay has nothing to do with anything. It is people from all walks of life here that have participated in this utter and complete nonsense. And these dolls sell for around 20,000 baht! The entire planet is mocking Thailand over this. The phenomenon of Thailand’s luk thep dolls reached viral status in January 2016, when Thai Smile Airways started to allow passengers to purchase seats and meals for their realistic dolls. Luk thep, which translates to child angel, resemble American Girl, or Reborn dolls, and have become an intriguing part of Thai culture to the outside world. http://time.com/4353544/thailand-luk-thep-doll/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael8511 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 it's just a university student prank, to assume as ghworker2010 that they are homosexuals or from a psych ward is just discriminatory, this kind of thing goes on in the US schools during the 1-3 first months.

Konini Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I saw a short documentary type thing from what looked like a current affairs program. This has been really big business in US for a while and now Asia, don't know about Europe. The dolls are freaky; they look so real I got the shivers. And of course, they cost an absolute fortune.The one in the picture above is a bit old from the norm;the most popular are ones made to be 3 to 4 weeks old. They are anatomically correct in every way, ears and fingernails and even genitals, incredibly realistic to the point that just watching it on TV freaked me out, the mostly childless, middle aged or over single women had done out their spare bedrooms as nurseries and had the cot and pram and changing mat and musical mobiles above the cot and everything else. They treat them just like they're real. And I thought trainspotters had a strange hobby. (Also reading an article last week about a certain kind of male having these dolls, babies and the older ones, for, shall we say nefarious use. Disgusted me, but I suppose doing the doll means that they won't take a kid off the street). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autanic Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If a man wants to treads the streets of Bangkok with a doll, pretending its his child or lover and get satisfaction from it, then I suppose theres not much to worry about. The same way we must accept that if a guy wants a bit of rough play and slap around a doll all night, we can take comfort he is doing it to a doll rather than a real human being. Harmless, move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I would be tempted to ask them "is that a real baby?" and quickly reach over and gently knock on the doll's head, like a door. They make a fuss and the cops come over and I explain that all I did was knock on the doll's head , and quickly lean over and do it again "like this!" And a few more times....
