Why Thai Women Cut Off Their Husbands' Penises

Holy shit that is fucked up. What kind of penalty does such an act carry?

I don’t know about Thailand, but if it happened in North America. It would probably be minimal time served with an expensive fine. Then she gets to do the morning talk show circuit, while some hag like Sharon Osborne make jokes about it while the audience laughs.

Don’t forget John and Lorena Bobbit.

Yeah, and I remember crowds of women cheering her and making slashing motions. Made my skin crawl.

That would be the capital. What one hears most often is that Bangkok may be short for Bang Makok – bang meaning “village on a stream” or even just “place of” and makok being a type of local olives. But that’s not definitive, and there are other explanations too.

The Thais always call it Krung Thep, which means City of Angels. Los Angeles, if you will. Although Krung Thep is short for it’s full name:

Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit

Which translates to:

City of angels, great city of immortals, magnificent city of the nine gems, seat of the king, city of royal palaces, home of gods incarnate, erected by Visvakarman at Indra’s behest.

Schoolchildren have to memorize this. The wife says she’s long forgotten it though.

As Chronos implies, Los Angeles in California actually has a much longer name, too.
Wikipedia gives it as:

Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula (Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of the Porciúncula River).

Los Angeles

According to the LA Almanac siote, however, the records indicate

From about August through September 1781, Governor de Neve, the settlers (11 men, 11 women and 22 children - one family never made it to Los Angeles), along with soldiers, mission priests and a few Indians, set out for the last leg of the journey to arrive at the site of the new pueblo alongside the Los Angeles River. Governor de Neve recorded the date, September 4, 1781, as the official date of establishment of El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles or The Town of the Queen of the Angels.

Contrary to the popular belief that the original name of Los Angeles was El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula (The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of the (River) Porciuncula), scholars have determined from official documents of Governor Felipe de Neve, Commandant General de la Croix and Viceroy Bucareli that the settlement was simply named El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles.

A quick look through LA city sites fails to show the “real” city mname as anything other than “Los Angeles”, but I suppose it might be buried somewhere official if it’s truly longer.

Cities always brag about their name being longer than it really is. Somebody should take a knife to these names.

I am swearing off of Thai women forever. Yesiam.

The risk is still statistically very remote, and I can guarantee that “being with” a Thai woman is very, very much worth it!

Okay, I don’t know that from personal experience. But I read things and hear tell.

Also, do not be a nurse in Thailand. You may have to clean a penis that’s been in a septic tank for most of a day. :eek:

It suddenly occurs to me that the one trip to Thailand was enough. Yep, no reason to ever go back there. In fact, the multitude of deadly, poisonous, and just plain horrible beasts and bugs of Australia are looking much better in comparison.

That’s no way to refer to Aussie ladies!

EDIT: Well, now that I think of the stories told by my Aussie friends, maybe it is.

[Sunspace]

I’ve never actually met a Thai lady, as far as I know. I’m not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed.

I often point out to fresh mea… I mean, new arrivals, that “Thai Girl” and “Tiger” have more than a phonetic similarity between them.

[kath94]

Heh. I read about this over a year ago. My older brother used to make business trips to China and/or Thailand and bragged about the “open mindedness” of the Thai women. So I shared this fact with him. Funny thing about it is that Thai doctors have the most experience in reattachment, so if you’re gonna get chopped, may as well be in Thailand.

I also hear it’s one of the best and most affordable places to get your penis voluntarily removed, if that floats your boat.

Just out of curiosity, are we talking about prostitutes? I dated a Thai woman a while back (OK, now more than a while), and while she wasn’t unenthusiastic, she was quite conservative compared to other women I’ve known.* I assumed it was a cultural thing, but maybe I just ended up with a shy girl.

• Yes, biblically.

I know what you mean. There’s quite a contradiction in some Thai ladies. It may be a cultural thing. It’s not uncommon for even the most brazen working girl to display a seemingly unusual degree of shyness even right after having given you a good doing 20 ways from Sunday. But it also runs the gamut, and many Thai ladies are of the schoolmarm-spinster variety who never date or marry and stay living with their parents forever.
