Ha ha ha. I'm glad the MSM keeps churning out these bogus reports and allegations, because it keeps the rubes out of paradise. By the way, did you know that there are thugs and brigands on every streetcorner of New York City? I read it in the Bangkok Post!

Thailand admits its terrible problem with prostitution and HIV/AIDS. The sex industry there has been infamous for at least 30 years that I knew. I lived in the middle east way back amd Bangkok was the sex vacation spot for so many Arabs....and nonArabs, too. It was cheap, cheap, cheap. Er. "everything" was included. It was almost a cliche., especially with the name of their capital.

Rather sad and pathetic, not humorous at all. Their statistics on AID/HIV always makes the international news. They do better with condom distribution than before, but there still is the same attitudes towards the sex industry, backed up by their government tourist industry.

Perhaps you would like it to be all a giant right wing conspiracy by the MSM AND Halliburton. Too bad it's the truth. All you have to do it read and read and read international news for the past 40 years like I have done.

Ah, yes. Krung Thep has such an exotic ring to it...

LOL! The government is doing everything possible to shut down the adult industry here.

Well, I don't have to read the international news. I live here.

If you really believe "Promiscuity is considered okey-dokey" here, then you have a rude awakening if you ever do come here. Thailand is an extremely conservative society and outside of the bar areas, propositioning the wrong person is likely to get you sent to a hospital.

Since Halliburton/KBR prepares my food and washes my laundry, I'll probably defer on that conclusion.

However, your "80 percent HIV positive" assertion is the stuff of myth, provided to you mainly by leftie sources, and yes perhaps even by some ecumenical groups, just for fair measure. In fact it's probably the only topic they agree on.
