No, never. I don’t drink any alcohol at all and never go to “bars”
I have no idea what acquaintances I run into do in their lives, I don’t really have close farang friends in TH. My Thai friends don’t hang out in bars.
Looking and doing are completely two different things.
This island was a notorious haven for sex trafficking, it would be overtly obviously peculiar to anyone, seeing young underage girls there. Those who went there knew exactly what was going on, it’s part of that culture and it’s completely acceptable in those circles including with the adult women and those that don’t participate in the debased activities, believe me.
