Monkeypox

[infoarmor]

We are learning more about Monkeypox, who it infects, and how it is spreads. Will it spread in Thailand? Will this change some guy's sexual practices?

Considering the number of gay travelers in Thailand and the high volume of action they have with locals, it's inevitable that monkeypox will soon spread to Thailand.
I think it's impact though will be limited. As scary as the symptoms of that disease are, it's rarely life-threatening.

I think in a first moment, when it starts getting media attention, there might be some hesitation from local guys to hookup with foreigners on apps. The sauna scene might also be curtailed. I don't think it will really affect the paid-sex market.
With time though, as more foreigners get vaccinated and the vaccine will eventually be available in Thailand, it will just end up being accepted as another STD.
