True Measure of a Thai Man with Penis Measuring Device
Men's instinctive concern over penis size will soon be discussed more openly, or even boasted about in Thailand, with the soon to be introduced official penis measuring device. The device, a disposable paper measuring tape which is about to be launched under the Public Health Ministry's "Condom for All" campaign, will tell guys which size condoms will give them the best comfort and protection.
The tape records widths of between 49 and 56 millimetres - covering the "Thai penis size standard". The Department of Disease Control's (DDC) anti-Aids division, however, did not mention how men with smaller or larger sized members could take part in his department's upcoming survey of penis sizes.
The campaign was launched in response a spike in the number of gay men and sex workers contracting HIV. A 200 million Thai Baht (US$5.89 million) budget has been approved for a countrywide drive to give away free condoms to gay men and males and females aged 1525, with a special focus on ensuring that people wear the rightsize protection.
The DDC's statistics showed that HIV infection rates among gay men going for testing were 17 per cent in 2003, 28 per cent in 2005 and 32 per cent in 2007, a rise that has prompted warnings of a second wave of HIV/Aids infection. The campaign is aimed at cutting infection rates in half by 2011. Once approved, more than 7,000 district administrations will be asked to participate in promoting the practice of safe sex and in distributing the free condoms.

Thai penis size
The article speak of average Thai penis "width" up to 56 millimeters. That's 2.2 inches. If diameter is really intended, that's pretty damn big. Pull out a ruler and check it out. More likely it refers to circumference. According to Wikipedia, the average in human males generally is a bit over 4 inches, though studies vary.
Thais are smaller than Europeans and Africans; Wikipedia says average male height in the U.S. is 5 ft. 9.4 inches, a bit more in Germany, a bit less in France, and Thai men average 5 ft. 5.9 inches. But that's only a 5% difference. It makes the above Thai penile circumference pretty unlikely. Perhaps the Thai measurers were ruthlessly severe. Many Western men complain about the tightness of Western condoms. Maybe all the condom companies are doing it wrong.
