What are the chances of catching a sexually transmitted disease (STD) in Pattaya? Not surprisingly, that’s a question often asked on forums and question and answer websites, maybe in hope that the answer will will reveal that there is very little risk of catching STDs in Pattaya, so no need to wear a condom.
In reality, anyone asking this question must already know deep down that the price you pay to have a little fun with bar girls in Pattaya includes a higher than average chance of catching an STD.
You can try working out the odds all day, some websites do the calculations for you, they state that a girl has slept with x amount of partners, her partners have slept with x amount of girls, those girls in turn have slept with x amount of partners, and so, and so on. Then they will calculate the odds of something like 2 out of every 20 girls you sleep with might have a sexually transmitted disease.
Most statistics deal with an average person living in an average place. If you statistically tried to work out the odds of catching an STD in Pattaya you would have many more factors to consider.
Pattaya’s bar girls might have sex with several customers per week, some deal with several customers per day. A sex tourist might sleep with several girls during his stay in Pattaya, think about it. That’s an awful lot of people having sex with an awful lot of people.
Tourists, including sex tourists from every corner of the world visit Pattaya. They may have already contracted a sexually transmitted disease at some sex tourism mecca before arriving in Pattaya, add that to the statistics and I’m sure you’ll agree the risk factor must multiply many times.
Do all of Pattaya’s bar girls insist on their customers wearing a condom? You would like to think so, but unfortunately, there’s bound to girls willing to take the risk for a little extra cash.
Do Pattaya’s bar girls go for regular std checks? Many do, but it’s not compulsory in all bars, and what’s to stop a girl from catching an STD one day after her check. You can have an STD without knowing.
Other Risks
Besides the risk of STDs, who knows what will happen. Maybe some months after you’ve left Pattaya—you will get a call from a woman who has news for you—you’re going to be a father. Maybe it’s a scam, maybe it’s not.
Worse still, you get a girl pregnant and leave her in a desperate situation, unable to work and with no money.
All things considered, I can safely say the best advice to any single man visiting Pattaya for a little unadulterated fun is—don’t be a fool in paradise, be like Rubber Johnny in the image above—WEAR A CONDOM, WEAR A CONDOM, WEAR A CONDOM.
