Thailand bans "good penetration" condoms

bangkokram says:

So if a Working Girl comes back to Bar wiping her mouth and saying she's "Just had McDonalds"! She doesn't mean Cheeseburger set No.2 with Coke....

hentaigaijin says:

you learn something new everyday!

splendid david. what is the thai for "smega" and "fanny juice", btw?

the japanese call "fanny batter" - manjiru ("fanny soup")!

i say flangeland needs to loosen up.

duncan says:

Aha I understand now.... my fathers name was Donald and after years of looking at myself in the mirror and wondering what happened..... i finally understand.

Can rotting penis be passed from father to son even though i don't have Donald in my name......or have I been fed on too many McDonalds burgers in my childhood ?

Johnny says:

The amount of Thai and English words which have different meanings and often funny ones in the other language never ceases to amaze me. Another joy in learning the language. No wonder you often get a perplexed "WHAT!" sometimes when speaking in English to a Thai.

Andy says:

First thing; if you need an Orwellian-sounding "Ministry Of Culture", then you don't have any. These are the same hypocrites that tried to ban "spaghetti strap" dresses for girls, ffs!
Then there's the "Ministry for Information", which is exactly the opposite; censoring all your favourite websites. (Apparently, they employ around 200 people just to block "inappropriate" websites and proxies).
Think I'll piss off back to Singapore; conversely they seem to be loosening up a bit there. Maybe because they have a coherent education system.

This story actually made it to the papers here in Australia. Upon showing the story to my (Thai) girlfriend thinking it would be of interest to her, she went into a rant that the only stories about Thailand found in the papers here are about either this sort of thing or about "thai ladies work bar kill farang"..... i'd better be more careful.....

philH says:

I suppose the boys from the Culture Ministry will be banning the film "Crocodile Dundee" next.

Well apart from being ambiguous, boastfull and provocative it promotes bestiality.

And what will all the haggis munchers do without their Dundee cakes?

Hugh Jarse says:

I wonder why those culture ministry blokes haven't yet got around to finding a new english name for Bangkok?

Andy says:

I'm planning my own range of rubber johnnies under the "Yet-Set Man!" brand. (Cunning pun on "jet-set", no?)
They will be flavoured too; som tam; fried-grasshopper; and tom yam gung flavors for starters. They will also have a speed-stripe and "bull-bars" for the macho "off-roader" types, who like to veer off into the shit now and again.

I agree. Mr Dundee should take these culture fascists on and change his name to Jim. I can see his new promotional material now...Big Jim Dundee!...the man who put the c**t back into Country music

nekochan says:

Mr. Jack Dowson (from Titanic) found himself in similiar situation.

He came to Thailand to film "The Beach" and Thais protested this guy like crazy.

Environment Hazard!! That "DOR-SON" Guy!!

Glad that the co-star was not Ms Ruby (whoever she was).

I remember speaking with my Thai wife about having something in the house "repaired". She thought this was highly amusing and explained to me that the word "repair" carries with it some sort of double-entendre type meaning relating to ladies having surgery to restore their virginity.

Thai-Spy says:

We take it that the staff of the Dundee Bar in Soi Cowboy were unavailable for comment?

Jim says:

Oh crap, my name means vagina!

I guess I could use James,,, I wonder what "James" means? But I'm so used to Jim. Well, at least I'm tipped off and won't think the worst when I see the bargirls snickering behind my back.

daniel says:

while in a taxi on sukumvit a van drove by with the word S M E G on the side.

i wondering if this is another form of thai word meaning something else in english, or just a thai company name.

i do hope that the company doesn't import dairy products.

Greer says:

Aha - our infamous Culture Minitry strikes again - another crackdown - Thailand is famous (infamous) for crackdown on this and that... and the Cutlure Minister really needs to get a life - problem is that she is being paid (for now) to do something, so she has to keep her minions doing something to justify her existence.

Roll on October 15th elections!

dundee and jim donald is a bad word in thai?

MrClis says:

An Omani friend by the name of NAHIR visited me in Pattaya some years back.
I'm still laughing now.
