Whiten­ing, bleach­ing are not uncomm­on in other parts of world and are widely offere­d online­BANGKOK: A Bangkok clinic that has drawn 100 men a month to its penis whitening service has caused a stir in Thailand, with social media users both baffled and alarmed by the phallic fad. The Lelux Hospital, renowned for its body whitening expertise in a country obsessed with skin colour, began offering the unconventional treatment six months ago after a male customer complained of “dark parts” on his groin. The procedure, which uses laser whitening, got wide play on Thai television and social media on Thursday after the hospital released images of a man undergoing the treatment. “I think it’s a good market to enter so we offer the ultimate body treatment to our clients, either men and women,” Bunthita said. Another user Parin Ruansati posted: “Oh god… what ever happened to the world?” Another had a lighter response, writing “why not?”.
