Bangkok schools remove condom vending machines for Valentine’s Day
Condom vending machines have been removed from Bangkok-based schools supervised by the city administration following complaints from parents who cited necessary provocation of sexual interests to students as the reason, deputy city clerk Pheeraphong Saichua said yesterday.
Vending machines at two public parks Suan Rommaneenart and Suan Saranrom where male and female streetwalkers regularly do their businesses, sell an average 597 and 349 condoms respectively, the number Pheeraphong said was “wellwelcomed.” Under a sixmonth pilot project, vending machines will be installed at other public parks in Bangkok.
