Condom and STD guide for Thailand
In this article you’re going to learn where to find condoms in Thailand and how to deal with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
I will cover:
- Why you should wear condoms (yes, in 2019 I need to actually write a section on it)
- Where to find condoms in Thailand and how they differ to western ones
- How to minimise your risk of catching an STD in Thailand
- How to get treated if you catch a sexually transmitted disease
Why you should use protection in Thailand
Spoiler alert: there is an active sex scene in Thailand and unless you’ve been here a while you won’t be able to identify who is a sex worker and who is not when visiting clubs or bars in the tourist areas.

If the Forrest Group ever did a survey on how many western men in Thailand have sex without a condom, the poll will tell you 30%~ based on my 7 years of living in Thailand and receiving messages from readers.
Dozens of people I know always plan to use a condom in Thailand, but when alcohol is mixed with girls wanting to go home with you for money, many people forget to buy or use a condom.
If you’re a big drinker, always keep a pack in your pocket if you’re the type who can’t handle their drink and usually ends up going full retard.
Other than being too drunk to use one, the next reason westerners don’t wear a condom in Thailand is because they say:
I can’t enjoy sex without a condom.
The no #1 reason men don’t like to use a condom in Thailand is because they cannot get it up, followed by loss of friction from condoms which reduces their pleasure.

Harvie you’ve lived outside the west for too long. STDs have been destigmized and are no longer bad! #shoutyourstatus
Wait till you get the super herpies BigNig.
tl;dr use Durex Ultra Thin
The Okamato ones suck. Literally couldn’t feel anything. Ultra Thin feels almost the same as no condom.
Not a very accutate post.
Men after the age of 45-50 often lack testosterone. If so. Viagra/Sidenafil is useless.
Clamydia can nearly always be cured with Doxycillin. I would take 100 mg x 1 (a day) in advance if I had plans for risky behaviour (BB oral sex for example).
Zithromax is not golden standard for Gonorrhea. Go to a doctor if you have symptoms.
Maybe 3-5-7 % of GoGo girls or Beerbargirls/Massagegirls have HIV. If you have vaginal intercourse with one of these girls,the risk of contracting HIV is 1-1,5% if you lube up and she is aware of her illness and take pills.
There are studies that claim the numbers are much higher for street hookers in Bangkok. I would absolutely never bareback one of these girls.
But life is not fair. Guys can fool around for years contracting nothing. Others get HIV after a week. Dr Alex.
0,5 % is probably even more accurate.
Dude, I went bareback only once, well twice in the same night with the same girl. I picked up a Bar girl on Soi 10, Best Bar in Pattaya last week and the thought of using a Condom completely slipped my mind. Now I’m scared shitless about HIV.
I asked her the next day and she insists she’s clean. Even offered to get tested. I just can’t do that as I left the country the very next day.
What are the chances she’s lying?
Just get tested.
Cefixime 400mg single dose to treat Gonorrhea. Azithromycin is additional “just in case” to treat the often accompanying Clap but in general its best to avoid due to the late onset sideeffects of mouth dryness and sores, the side effects come so late that often people dont connect them to azithromycin but if you woke up at night with extreme mouth dryness in the months after taking it then you know how bad it is. Not as bad as Doxycycline though, avoid this unless theres no other option left, severe sunburn even from minimal sun exposure is a dangerous side effect, you will get blisters just by being near a welder or playing with a stun-gun if you took doxy.
What about size differences?
It’s well known that some Thai men are slightly less endowed than their farang brothers.
The Okamoto 0.5 ultra thin are like going bareback, recommended. I’m sure others have different opinions but these worked for me.
But have some consideration for the stress any ‘normal, good’ girl’ might feel if you’re riding saddle free, she’s got the burden of finding the morning after pill, or Postinor, as it’s known.
Have a pack ready and suspicions will arise.
You could keep a pack then later pretend you’re heading to a pharmacy for her, then return 5mins later with ’em.

Oh and I forgot, there are size guides at all the websites of these brands. Worth checking out.
Latex condoms which are to tight are just unpleasent. But non-latx condoms to small for jour jonny can be imposible to wear due to lack of elasticitet. No latex looks a bit like a plastic bag, but they allow heat to pass through. Supposingly a better feeling.
I hate condoms, Despite that. I sometimes wear them, but a couple a times on every trip to Thailand I take me chances and BB. (I have acctualy fucked a girl BB in a GoGo in Bangkok..In Pattaya a pharmasist gave me a bj when the store was empty. She was so impressed of my dick after insisting seeing it to determin what seize was the right one for me- naturally they hade no condoms even close to my size (my friend Paul laughed when he heard the story and claimed she was a ladyboy, famous all over Patts, but I honestly dont think so?)
By they way, oralsex with a condom is a completely menaningless activity.
Unfortunately you have to custom order thin condoms if you are hang like a horse.
Glad I don’t have that problem, wearing short shorts would also be a huge issue for me.
I think you can take it a couple a weeks in advance. One the tablet works and gets in your syst you don’t need protection. The specialist to me this .
You think which means you don’t actually know.
I was told by a doctor in Australia you can take this tablet. Once it’s in your system. It fights all infections . HIV and other kind of disease
So your doctor told you there’s this pill that you take and you’ll never get ill. I’ll be sure to ask my pharmacist about this pill the next time I pop in.
Harvie you could do an story on how Bangkok is changing and developing . What will Bangkok be like in another ten years . ?
I’ll get round to it.
Ignorance is not a bliss.
A couple of the guys in the 90th who claimed you could only get HIV from a ladyboy, got HIV from f**king lots of Bargirls. Even if the chance is 0,5% with every encounter, after 100-150-200 girls the odds gets problemtic.
Would Anti-viral drugs protect you from HIV? I havent seen any study that claim this. In the future there might be vaccines, but we are not there yet.
Used to visit a pharmacy clinc before I went home when I used to visit as a sex tourist. Cotton bud down the japs eye and a microscope examination of it, even after wrapping up with bargirls for 2 weeks.
I was still married back then so had to be extra cautious
After the divorce I pissed into the wind for years, bareback with all sorts. Never got anything whatsoever. One girl claimed I gave her an STD but it was probably her ”brother”
Like how much of a micropeen are we talking about here? no issues wearing the condoms?
Any issues with the ladies? The balls on you for admitting that XD
The micro was a joke, but if you do have a micro penis, I’m sure the condoms in Asia are fine for you.
I heard if you only shag Ladyboys you don’t need a condom as long as you’re the Top. LOL 😀
@Harvie – We need to know how big your cock is so we can compare sizes. Where is the measurement stick? Some girls in Bangkok are size queens who love big cocks. 😀
Can catch an STD from a receiving blow job?
Yes.
Buy your Condoms here, in the US. Web sites can give you some direction. Decide, buy some and try then on for the best comfort.
PS: Get an STD from a blow-job, probably not, a bladder infection, YES!
@Eddiefio You can easily get Herpes Simplex 1 or 2 (HS1 or HS2) from a simple Blow Job catching a bladder infection from a Blow Job I have never heard of.
Just got back from Bangkok.. Was with a ladyboy and we did a little 69 without condom but no cum inside. She said shes clean but what’s my risk of hiv through that. Thanks
If you didn’t swallow any Ladyboy jizz, while 69ing you should be Ok….But if you got ladyboy jizz in your mouth and if you rimmed the ladyboy’s bunghole, you should probably get an HIV test and STD test ASAP! Bangkok Ladyboy’s typically have a higher rate of HIV infection cos they have a lot of anal sexxx when sexpats shag them and go balls deep in their pooper. ;P
Hey Harvie, nice informative post. I am willing to visit some body massage centers like , honey 2 in pattaya, mitu in Bangkok and wish to take full service with condoms. What would be my risk of getting Any kind of STD s? What would be the next best way to prevent std, considering the most safest is not going there at all
Wrap up, ask them for proof the last time the lady was tested. Inspect the lady before going in.
Avoid penetration and you will be fine.
But I dont get “the ladyboy thing”, its 100% gay, nobody can claim anything else (even a blowjob feels seriously wrong.)
My previous posts related to ladyboys. No penetration sex is as harmless as between heterosexuals.
But unprotected anal fucking is very risky behaviour.
HIV infections among streethookers in Bangkok is 3-5-10% according to a few studies. 20-40% among transgender sex sellers.
I would recommend buying Japanese condoms that are 0.01-0.02 m”m thin.
Okamoto produces these and you can order online, be sure to order L so it will fit average westerner. The other is Sagami has 0.02mm for L and both are amazing compared to Durex ultra thins which I never liked.
What about escort services? They claim they test their girls for STDs such as AAB agency. Are they safer or are they as bad as bargirls?
Realistically what is the risk of contracting herpes from Thai hookers if wearing a condom every time? I recently came back from Tijuana after having protected sex with 10+ (street) prostitutes, went to planned parenthood in the states because I was paranoid about herpes and they told me that since I had used protection that even though it was “possible”, that my chances were close to zero of having contracted anything. Yet I continue to see rather pervasively the doctrine of “condoms dont prevent herpes so if you’re scared of herpes just don’t bang hookers”. Do you have any anecdotal experience of this actually happening, or a sense of the actual IRL risks of this outside of the “it COULD happen” advice (that usually comes from non-hobbyists anyway)?
Ok for herpes you can get even when wearing condoms I got herpes in Phuket because that girl was asymptomatic shedder so if you really want to be safe ask them for herpes test for sure and for hiv get prep it will save you from it
