By and large, Thai boys are rarely circumcised. However, because of the many foreign visitors who are 'intimate' with Thai boys, some boys (who regularly have sex for money) are having themselves circumcised. Additionally, Thai families of the growing Moslem faith are also having their sons ritually circumcised at ages 8-12. For the medical experiences of a Thai doctor in Bangkok circumcising boys with the new Tara KLamp, check out that section of the web site.
When I was recently in Thailand, I saw the uncut penis of a friend of mine (who is entirely of Chinese descent, despite being Thai born) in an erect state. Undoubtedly, if he were to attempt to have a circ, I think the surgeon would be at a loss to find much to cut off! It was virtually impossible for him to draw any foreskin forward onto any part of the glans. "Lucky guy", I thought.
I understand that it is customary in parts of the far east for males to 'wear' their foreskins back routinely, but in the case of my friend this wasn't an issue (in the erect state, at least) - he was as 'cut' as anyone I've ever seen!
He tells me that, when he's flaccid, it covers "not very much ... but not very little" and he tells me that amongst his Thai friends, "some are longer ... some are shorter". Just for completeness, he's around 5-5.5" erect and, he tells me, around 2" flaccid.
