Ah, yes. Krung Thep has such an exotic ring to it...
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.
LOL! The government is doing everything possible to shut down the adult industry here.
All you have to do it read and read and read international news for the past 40 years like I have done.
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.
Killjoy -- don't you just love it when tourists become "experts" on Thailand after 1 or 2 visits?
You are absolutely right, though, about Thailand being a conservative country. Most Thais that I know, including my wife, are very traditional, religious people. The fact that prostitution and gays/transvestites are tolerated doesn't necessarily make them accepted. The same goes for promiscuity, which is definitely not accepted by most Thai wives (Thailand supposedly has the world's leading specialists in penis reattachment surgery, although that’s not something I intend to verify personally.)
