Buying, selling and possessing sex toys is illegal in Thailand. Despite this, the trade of illegal vibrators and other sex toys is "big business," according to a report published on the Vice News website.

Violation of this rule can result in a prison sentence of up to 3 years or/and a fine of up to 60.000 baht. It in no way hinders the black market in these items, which are openly sold in the vicinity of, for example, Nana, Patpong and Silom. On the contrary, already in 2018, so before the Corona crisis started, this market grew enormously and the crisis has reinforced the rising effect.

hypocritical

According to the Vice News report, the Thai government does not want to allow sex toys because it "goes against the values ​​of the Thai community." satisfying (sic!) the high demand for all kinds of sex toys. Vice News claims that the black market actually fuels crime. The police and customs occasionally carry out seizure actions, but it is mopping up with the tap open. Like elsewhere in the world, people in Thailand are curious about sexually oriented toys.

    Been publishing sex toys openly for years and years at various locations in Pattaya on the street.
    Despite this fact, the following made the newspapers.
    Some couples (farangs) who subjected these toys to their curiosity in one of their private homes, received an unexpected visit from the police.
    They were taken to the police station, including their toys.
    There they await a hefty fine for having illegal items in their possession.
    Hypocrisy… what, is that?!

      Yesterday there was an item titled: How does it feel, living in Thailand.
      Well so.

    In the Netherlands very easy to order on the internet, also at AliExpress (part of Alibaba), plenty to find for very pleasant prices.
    In Thailand, of course, we have Lazada (part of Alibaba).
    Look at Lazada Malaysia, here too in all shapes, sizes and colors.
    But look at Lazada Thailand, unfortunately ... .. nothing to be found ..
    Do you still have to get started with that heat...
    Indeed, they try to keep things like this out.

      Just "sex toys" and spoiled for choice. Will simply be delivered to your home in Thailand.

    Boys use your own toys, is the rule in Thailand, grandpa and grandma (for the upbringing) don't have to be bored either.

    I don't want to offend anyone but my wife is super happy with my toy.
    She doesn't need artificial aids, she says because she is rather frugal 🙂
    So wasting money on such – what shall I call it… uh… mopeds – is not for her.

    And now quickly put on my glasses to find my blue pills again.
