"BANGKOK - Young passengers on Bangkok city buses are being asked not to have sex during the commute. [Straits Times - 1 Sep 2004]
The plea comes from the city´s transport officials, who posted notices on some of the buses yesterday.
The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (MTA) came under fire from commuters this week after a study by an academic revealed that scores of college students were engaging in sexual intercourse, usually in the rear seats of the darkened buses, during the evening commute from classes.
´I have interviewed bus conductors and passengers and they confirm the study that students are having sex, especially on the air-conditioned route 12,´ said Mr Virat Chokkatiwat, an MTA director.
Notices in all the Route 12 buses advise: ´Thai women should preserve old culture about sexual behaviour.´
Although Thailand is well-known for its racy nightlife, it is a predominantly Buddhist, conservative country where public displays of affection, including kissing, are rare.
Still, social mores among the younger generation, influenced by Western culture, are changing quickly. -- AP
