preahko Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I guess it was inevitable...what's next, selling them in vending machines? Thai Women Sell Their Underwear Online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 << a graduate of a prestigious university in Chiang Mai province >> There is only one that I would consider "prestigious". No idea what a Daily News writer might think. Daily News is only a step above Thai Rot. Also, I get pissed off at what the press considers "hi-so". Chinese-Thais having money does not automatically make them hi-so, anymore than the nouveau riche are accepted as "society" in the west. Ah, but I'm forgetting that Thailand is a "Buddhist nation" and money is not valued here. Also, the majority of the Thai journalists are themselves Chinese-Thais.

cavanami Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 This is nothing new as this "business" has been going on for years. Japan used to have vending machines where you could buy the used undies. Another reporter/newspaper trying to make a splash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'd seen Thai "used knicker" adverts on the internet some years ago. No one tried to tie them to "hi-so" though. That's this reporter's new shtick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Japan finally outlawed the panty vending machine because the panty suppliers started to apply tuna fish juice to the panties, thus making them a falsely advertised product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I didn't know Thailand had a prestigious university unless of course #384 in the world counts as prestigious... I don't blame thais desire to share their bed with the japanese; with thier cultures, habits, feminine traits and characteristics, they are already there... It's the only two countries in the world where their male populations don't shave.... CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorwolf Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 ...and that was only after greenpeace and the other treehuggers started to make a stink as tuna-fish juice is, rather obviously, bad news for the tuna fish population, already under threat from the sushi industry... the used-panty sellers for a while tried anchovy paste but the used-panty buyers didn't fall for that conceit...

Flashermac Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Presitigious by Thai standards, meaning how tough it is to get in. e.g. Unless you are a politician's kid, it takes a score of 98% and above on the nationwide entrance exam to get into Chulalongkorn University, about 96% up for Thammasat. Mahidol, Kasetsart, Chiang Mai and the rest trail along behind. A degree from anyone of them takes work. Rachaphat universities are easy to get into, while Ramkhamheng and the private unies are open admission. Pay the money and you're a student. Show up in class once in a while, and you graduate. The criteria for opening a private university in Thailand are bizarre. First start a "college" with a couple of faculties. Then expand the number of faculties and offer some kind of a master degree. You get inspected by the ministry and ... bingo! You're a university. Some of them wouldn't even be accredited as junior colleges in the US. Watch Karaboa's "Mahai'lai, mahalawk" some time and have a Thai translate for you, if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
