Report from Bangkok Post dated Saturday 10 February 2007 :-
One in 10 of teens, young adults in city admit to sex with net strangers
===========================================
One in 10 of teenagers and young adults in Bangkok admit to having sex with strangers they meet on the internet and almost half of them say they have done so willingly, according to the Abac poll. The figure accounts for 11.5% of teens and young adults in the city, up from 8.9% in last year's survey, said Abac poll centre director Noppadon Kannika.
Of the number who said they had sex with internet chat mates who were total strangers, 47% maintained the sex was consensual.
Assumption University conducted the poll among 1,303 respondents aged between 15-24 years old in Bangkok from Feb 2-8. Its survey is part of a campaign for the ''safety internet network'' run by the Thai Health Promotion Foundation.
Mr Noppadon said the survey found young people normally accessed the net late at night, mostly from home and unsupervised, for some three hours a day.
The 15-24 age group has become more and more interested in viewing lewd contents and pornographic photos on the internet. The number of such internet users who access these websites has risen to 62.6% from 61.6% in last year's survey.
Most of the respondents say they enjoy talking with strangers on the internet. The poll also found that 80% of them admit most information they exchange with one another is made up and sex is the favourite subject of conversation.
Also, 30% of the chatters said they have met with strangers they talked to on the net, Mr Noppadon said.
The director said the findings are a matter for concern as more young internet users are going on to have sexual encounters with chat mates whom they have never met before in person.
Some cyber programmes also allow members to enjoy interactive sexual activities, in addition to chatting online.
The Thai Health Foundation is pushing for a draft bill against actions considered harmful to internet users, said Sunit Chetta, the foundation's information and communication technology manager.
Mr Sunit said the foundation is also trying to find ways to campaign against the exposure of personal information on the internet.
Up to 60% of teenagers tend to give out their personal data to strangers on the net, according to the latest poll. This would make them vulnerable to becoming victims of criminal gangs.
Pol Lt-Col Patana Surakul, of the Department of Special Investigation, said the DSI has conducted for three years a ''Cyber Force'' programme to educate up to 800 young internet users every year about the dangers of undesirable cyber materials.
''We cannot just keep on cracking down on dangerous internet materials. We need to educate our kids more,'' he said.

Report from The Nation dated Thursday 22 November 2007 :-
Online chats often lead to sex, seminar is told
==================================
Nearly one-sixth of students aged between 15 and 24 have had sex with strangers at least once after having online chats, a seminar on child protection against online harassment was told yesterday.
Of all 1,114 respondents based in Bangkok surveyed on October 15-17, 27% of males had sex with strangers they got to know through online chats, compared to 8% of females, according to an Abac poll result released in the seminar.
65% placed their real pictures and phone numbers on community websites and 34% were contacted by strangers who found their profiles. 20% of the males had "sought friends" using online services compared to 12% of females.
53% of respondents have viewed pornographic through online media. Of them, 63% downloaded the material, while another 16% played obscene games offered on adult websites.
Of all types of games available, respondents said they regularly or occasionally played some violent games including shooting police, striptease and rape, said the Abac poll.
A research by the National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre found that more than one million Thais under 15 years of age had their own online profiles on which their real pictures were posted.
Nectec official Chadamas Thurasetthakul said children would be better protected when a 2003 law preventing distribution of personal information of young children came into effect in the near future.
She said the five online services most visited by juveniles were YouTube, Hi 5, MSN, MySpace and Facebook.
