The ex-senator whose well-known slogan is “One Husband, One Wife” has regularly appeared in local newspapers, criticizing songs like “Khon Leaw Tii Rak Teur”, music videos like “Doom Doom” and pocket books like Ying: Sex. Her straightforward, conservative critiques again and again become the talk of the town. She never ceases promoting monogamy and campaigning against pre-marital sex and sex in the media, even though she gets a lot of negative feedback. Apart from making public appearances, she also is Chairman of the Happy Family Association and president of HIV Patient Help Centers, which have 851 branches in 74 provinces.

The fact that the rate of HIV infection in teenagers is a lot more than in the other age groups concerns me. Youngsters these days have sex earlier than in our generation. And many of them don’t use condoms.

I’m worried about these kids. If they are all infected with HIV or addicted to drugs, the country will lack quality people. That’s why I campaign for women to preserve their virginity and for people to have a social conscience, especially those in the media.

The media is very influential to the young ones. They consume news and entertainment all day long, in and out of the home. A picture we see lives on our mind, lasting longer than what we hear, smell or taste. Research shows that 87% of what we perceive influences changes in us.

We are making wrong things normal. Violence, rape, murder and nudity are seen in newspapers and on TV every day. Some teenagers like to say it’s fine to dress sexy because actresses on TV do so. In newspapers or magazines, they answer sex questions boldly.

We are becoming a society addicted to sex. Fathers have sex with daughters, grandpas with granddaughters, teachers with students and everything ends up on the front page.

That famous singer can’t say the DNA test proves that he’s not the father. The fact that he had sex with such a young girl shows he has no morals or virtue.

I’m going to write a letter of congratulations to James Ruengsak. He appropriately said that he has a girlfriend but he will set an example for teenagers by not hugging or kissing in public. He said an actor or singer could be counted as a teacher. Kids see them, remember what they do and imitate.

Look at Laos singer, Alexandra Boonchuay—she’s very lovely, always wearing traditional dress. Do we have such a nice example in Thailand? Laos’ calendars are praiseworthy. No nudity in them.

In Thailand, just to sell alcohol, they spend millions to hire a model, as if the quality of their product can’t sell itself.

Sometimes, some families encourage their sons in the wrong way. If you are a man, you can’t touch a broom. Housework is women’s work. When that son grows up, they bring him to a whorehouse. Why train your child like that?

Some people say I work on monogamy because my husband has a mia noi, or I have a mental problem. There’re a lot of people who don’t like me. But I don’t care; I know what I’m doing.

Even when being threatened, I don’t feel afraid. We live once and we die once. I had some threatening letters, saying rude words, asking to have sex with me. Karma will return to them. I don’t have to do anything. One day they will regret it.

I never mean bad things to anybody. I just try to contribute to society.

I want to see women prove themselves with their brains, not their flesh.

I never blame women. Whether they are mia luang or mia noi, once they belong to a man, they will love him with all their heart.
