"Thai infidelity claims brings strong denials"

Infidelity ... but one measure of personal values. Perhaps an indicator of broader Thai cultural values, and how they affect Thailand's ability (jeez, even their willingness) to rise above basic tribal, survivalist cultural values.

 

Excerpts of the numbers:

• "Thai lovers and couples have been identified as the world's most unfaithful in a Durex sex survey of 29,000 people in 36 countries."
  
• "Thai married couples and lovers topped the survey at cuckolding (54 per cent) followed by South Korea (34 per cent) and Malaysia (33 per cent)." ... Thais far ahead of world's #2.
  
• "While 59 per cent of Thai women reportedly admitted to infidelity, they were still more faithful than Ghanaian women, who ranked first at 62 per cent." ... ranking Thailand right up there with one of the most tribal of African societies, and well ahead of the pack (see next).
  
• "Women in Malaysia, Russia, and Singapore followed in third, fourth and fifth places (39 per cent, 33 per cent and 19 per cent, respectively)."
  

And, the expected Thai denial:

• "Supensri Puengkoksung of the Women and Men Progressive Movement Foundation said the poll did not reflect the real situation in Thailand. It just reflected the opinion of people who were approached and ready to answer the survey." ... ummm, yeah ... which ... the rest of the world knows ... as a surrrrveeeey.
  
• "Meanwhile, a deputy director of the Mental Health Department, Dr Tawee Tangseri, said he doubted Thai women often cheated on their partners because they adhered to tradition and preserved their purity. Only a small proportion cheated on their partners to have sex with other men." ... amongst others, the word "Pollyana" just screams at me after reading the Thai Mental Health Department's view on the report.
  

Any questions why this place is what it is?
