Govt Ramps Up Fight Against Youth STD Surge

[misskit]

The Ministry of Public Health is stepping up efforts to combat rising rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among the country’s youth. Recent data reveals an alarming increase in syphilis and gonorrhea infections, prompting the agency to implement stricter preventive and control measures.


Thailand saw the syphilis infection rate rise from 11 per 100,000 people in 2018 to 18.6 in 2022, predominantly among young individuals. Congenital syphilis infections in newborns also surged from 25.1 per 100,000 to 98.2 per 100,000 within the same timeframe.


In response to these rising figures, Minister of Public Health Dr Cholnan Srikaew said the ministry plans to collaborate with the private sector and civil groups to enhance access to treatment for syphilis, gonorrhea, and congenital syphilis. The goal is to reduce the infection rate to 1 per 100,000 people by 2030, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to halt the spread of harmful STDs.


Additionally, the ministry has approved two draft regulations to better control the spread of communicable diseases brought in by foreign visitors. These regulations include detailed reporting on the arrival of vehicles at immigration checkpoints via air, land, and sea.


The focus for the upcoming year also includes continued COVID-19 vaccination efforts for the "608" risk group, comprising individuals over 60 and those with certain underlying illnesses, to minimize severe illness risks. Moreover, the ministry will maintain its advisory role in preventing and controlling STDs, including monkeypox, HIV/AIDS, and insect-borne diseases like dengue fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya.

Inevitable really when you have so many whores, male and female, happy to work in an unrestricted nationwide sex industry that lures so many mongers globally from Asia to the West.

Perhaps if they addressed the proliferation of brothels masquerading as beer bars, massage parlours and bath houses it might help to contain the problem. Clearing out Soi Cowboy, Patpong and Nana in Bangkok, the beer bars in Pattaya and the rice queen katoey infestation up in Chiangmai should be high on the agenda and STD testing of all the Indian arrivals.

The thing is, because the Thai-Chinese cabal are obsessed with money grubbing they are loathe to forsake the sex tourism dollar which is mighty indeed and also attracts thousands of ASEAN munters.

Essentially, a nation of whores and there it is.

Happy New Year !

I see you're still pretending that Bangkok and Pattaya are not the main hooker hubs by some distance.

^ Legalise it, regulate it, tax it and police it. (Note the use of lower case p).

I see you're still pretending that Bangkok and Pattaya are not the main hooker hubs by some distance.

they are not.

the biggest users of brothels and massage houses are the thais.

every town and every village will have establishments offering sexual services. they are not festooned farang style with large neon signs nor will they have half naked girls cavorting in the doorway enticing punters. they cater for the lowrent chickenhead market and the girls on offer are more likely to have been trafficked and less likely to undergo any kind of health screening.

more upmarket punters would use any of the many online forums where prostitutes offer their services and of course there are no end of gentlemens clubs and massage emporia that cater solely for thai.

the girls working cowboy, nana and pattaya etc. represent but a drop in the ocean of the total number of pay for play workers in the country.

this is all common knowledge to anyone that has been in the country for more than 10 minutes, except as it seems, our cyrille.

[cyrille]

Oh, and you seriously think I’m unawawre that Thais engage with prostitutes rather regularly?

And then proceed to wet yourself at the chance of a tap in?



It was all a figment of your imagination, you ridiculous old codger.

Stupidity on a scale rarely seen. Such a desperate need to be a smartarse that tax can’t see the point he’s responding to has absolutely nothing to do with the nationality of the punters.

You seem to know a lot about it tax. And your mate sa likely didn't retire to pattaya merely to watch turds bobbing by on cerulean seas? You 2 geezers probably know a thing or 3 about STD,s

[cyrille]

So the largest centres for prostitution by far for Thais are NOT BKK and Pattaya, as everyone knows according to you.

You truly are an absurd old tosspot. That’s complete stupidity.

I have been visiting provincial towns like most folk living here over the years and in each one there has been a street of entertainment incorporating karaoke and tawandaeng where Thai go to for their jollies when they want to let their hair down. Plenty of hostess girls on tap some of whom would mount tables to dance for clients wearing g- string knickers under short skirts. The men mostly have a bottle of whisky with the usual ice bucket and sodas on hand served by the girl attached to the table.

Thai have been fucking whores as a rite of passage, as entertainment with mates and to relieve angst for donkeys years.

The smart money adapted quickly to the farang market which offered girls a premium dividend and a bonus of marriage.

Only fucking idiots and Lonely Planeteers think the farang precipitated the whore industry in this brothel of a country.

Did you 2 grumpy old farts find yourselfs with a bint that thought themselves as " on the smart money" with a premium divided end of being married to wankers.

[cyrille]

OK, so another oldster chips in to support this statement of the bleedin obvious.

[Seekingasylum]

Cyril, you can’t weasel out of it now.

The population of Thailand Is around 70 millions, around 12 million of whom live in Bkk and Pattaya.

Of course Bkk and Pattaya between them do not have the greatest number of whores, you silly mincer.

Sometime ago I quoted a finding by one of the big three universities, maybe Chula or Thammasat, which surveyed prostitution in Thailand during the late 90 s and concluded that there were around 900,000 prostitutes trading in the Kingdom.

Cyril, you really don’t have a clue. It’s endemic everywhere here, like death by RTA, rape and violence.

How tf does that rebut the contention that Bangkok and Pattaya are the two ‘main hooker hubs of Thailand’, you silly old pisshead?

[Seekingasylum]

Unsurprisingly, you miss the point, you silly mincer.

The two conurbations are indeed not only hubs, but hubs for farang.

Our points, Tax’s and mine, are that the entire fucking country is a hub for the Thai, you dribbling little obscurantist.

Not forgetting of course your own chosen billet is the epicentre for rice queen poofters swimming in katoey jism, Cyril.

[malmomike77]

Well its a great start to a new year

[Seekingasylum]

It’s a space time continuum, you enfeebled twat. Your new year is little more than a waypoint in your continuing idiocy as you descend further into your dribbling dotage.

[cyrille]

Which places in Thailand do you think have more prostitutes than Bangkok and Pattaya?

Go on, you gobby little blowhard.

Answer the question and show I'm wrong.

Or are you now maintaining that estimating the numbers and believing one's own eyes is impossible?

Your 'argument' is clearly absurd, you ridiculous arse.

You really are full of , and comically defensive about your choice of Asia's biggest holiday brothel as your home.
