My point I was making was that you had said that there were no countries as bad as here.

I found that reporting it at least provided me with a statement and made sure they knew

The minute after he dies she is gong to get hounded by family bbecause they will think she is rich and can pay all their luigi's as wella s put alltheir kids through school All the sob stories will start.

The challenge is like anything else in the world. The Chinese with their "labour" laws are able to create anything they want cheaper than any other country. This about this why do so many THAI brands have their products made outside the country. Imagine if they actually started making shirts and clothes in Thailand. How many people have bought someting tht was a souvenir to their country to see made in china stamped on it.

My APOLOGIES With AN I have gotten used t the people here that spout off and haven ot got a clue of anything but the bar seat. I agree you probably have a good idea of what happens and you have my respect and admiration. I fully agree that there is crap that goes on in these schools that parents should be aware of and school directors should action. In primary school up to about P4 teachers have a great deal of control. They can scare the holy crap out of kids. My issue is that there is such a rush to judgement and never any follow-up. Is he guilty maybe did the students do it to get him in trouble possibly. I am just finishing a book on the Salem witch trials and it is interesting in that 3 girls controlled the fate of everyone and had the ability to get anyone killed just because they said so. My comment is that in a lot of stories there is more to it. I taught Matayom for 3 years and could not handle the teacher politics or the students not caring. I also raised a daughter and the one thing that is missing in all this is communication and accountabilty with the teachers.

I really think you need to look at the figures legal in most of the US is 21. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/drinking-age-by-state

not sure I would want my wife dealing with the 4 am drunk who struck out at the bar and is still drunk and looking.

I wouldn't I really doubt he is too worried it may be that he only wants t cut Thai hair less picky. I look around and find one that gives good service. A lot also has to do with their rent. It may be that they raise it for you so that Thais can afford. Who knows, and does it really matter? Go find a nice girl who can cut your hair fora reasonable price

The funny thing is that if the PTP had backed MFP, then Thaksin would have been free and clear. The military Elite is going to have a fight as the last thing PTP wants him arrested again. HOWEVER, their supporters are going to want him in jail unless they want the fight about how the MFP can be guilty for wanting to put forward changes to LM and Thaksin can get away with literally slandering the king.

You have to remember these girls were not minors and definitely, at the age of 16, can understand the ramifications of what they are doing. The fact that the bar represented them as being of age will be a mitigating circumstance in this and will ne a definite factor. AGAIN, THESE THINGS P!SS ME OFF. As with all the school arrests and charges, we will never know as the media will bury it because it will not have the HEADLINE.

Gopod reason not to sit in the first 3 rows

are you or have you taught in a Thai school, or is this what you have heard? There is a huge difference. You obviously do not have young children. They know a whole lot more these days than most kids did a decade ago. They hear things on TV, YouTube, and other areas all the time. I have had Pratom 1 girl tell me to F OFF. She had o idea what it meant, but she knew the context. A check with Mom found that she picked it up on TV. I am not saying he did or did not do it. The problem was/is that these charges are made when the person is named in paper and media and then nothing, so all we know is that he was charged. The first thing you are warned about as a teacher is to stay away from all the girls and be careful of their interest in you and report it. There needs to be more info. The other point is that in most schools, the Pratom 3 teacher has little or no contact with the Pratom 4 classes.

I took my daughter to an Allice Cooper concert in the 80s in Toronto. Everyone was worried when I sat down until one girl asked if I was a cop. Once I said no, everyone lit up. The good thing about concerts is you do not have to buy you just have to get the CONTACT HIGH

I still have to wonder about this. Did he or are they making it up. I just read about the Salem witch trials in the U.S., and it is interesting that the stories were all made and accusations were made by 3 girls who wanted fame and notoriety, so they kept accusing people. Also the throw away the idea that a 10 year old would know anything abut this all they need do is YOUTUBE TIKTOK

The challenge is what did he know. Her consent is not going to matter even though to a point it should. The questions are Did he bar fine her from a bar? If so, then the assumption can be made that if she was working at the bar, she was at least 18 years old because the law says so. If he asked her for ID did she show ID that had her at 18 years of age. Again, if so, then it is not his issue legally. As to Western courts, it gets a little more interesting. If you go to a bar in Canada, it is the establishment's duty to only allow access to customers 18 years of age and older. If a person is in doubt they can ask for ID or ask her her age. If she is under 18 but has purported to be over 18 by the ID and answers to questions, then it becomes a different story, and I am not sure there is much of a case. The under-18 crowd used to be quite prevalent on military bases. They had the ID and they knew the answers. The only protection you had was to look at her closely and see how she acted and also ask other girls in the bar. Fake ID is a growing business. in all countries and here I am willing to bet that it is really big in the land of COPy

Aren't most guys that come here looking for a younger girl. 18-30 would qualify as younger.

Yea, a lot of them open on the 24th and after midnight on the 23rd Last call on the 23 is usually buy a few, and on the 24th until midnight, all non-alcohol drinks are sold.

When you go to a bar, whether a bar girl or a normal bar with dancing that serves alcohol, most people assume that because the bar club checks ID, anyone that they meet is legal to date and is a woman. The challenge, as others have said, is confirming that she is of age. Can you trust ID or ask the girl? Any guy in his 20s is looking for a girl/woman in their age group It is the same challenge that people have at clubs anywhere in the world.

check out that newspaper we are not to tal about they outline a lot more. I think you can call this an accident the driver had never taken this route before. It was 7 at night, and his only job was driving the bus. Lighting and side barriers may have played a part in it as teh bridge was under construction. , but the driver was charged with reckless driving causing death.

Balconies here are not made with the same purpose as in the western world here, I think it is more of an aesthetic

This is going to be an interesting court case. First Question How many people here when they get a girl for a short time ask her for ID? If the legal age to work in a bar is 18, then the assumption that we all make is that the girls are 18 or older and have an ID that says so. The question then becomes, did he know that they were under 18, and can they prove that he did? When we were younger, we had all known people, male and female, who had fake IDs to get into bars. Unless the girl told you her age, you would never know if she was 16-20 in a lot of cases, especially here in Thailand.

That has all been covered in my rental agreements that I have signed.

I just bumped into this on YOUTUBE. Is it as big a deal as it seems? I am surprised that it does not get the coverage that the US press gives things.

Glad you showed a ic I thought yo met @Stoner

If he is staying in Phuket for at least the first couple of days then really all he needs is his hotel booking for that time. The hotels will keep track of him after that , won't they? As for a visa for Muay Thai, I realize this is new, but does he not have to have a gym accept him or at least know the ones in the area?
