    Many of the boys/young men who are trafficked are undocumented, hill tribe kids in particular. Trying to prove the age of some of them is extremely difficult and many times westerners are considered guilty until proven innocent in these situations. I knew a Brit more than twelve years ago in CM who got four years for underage sex with a hillside lad who we all believed to be over eighteen but it couldn't be proved and the authorities weren't interested in trying to find out, even he said he was over 18 - a couple of us tried to help and even went to his school in Central Thailand to try and get his records but we they wouldn't release them to us. Ultimately it was an NGO that was responsible for his arrest and imprisonment.

    How old was your Brit mate 12 years ago in CM ?

    Food hygiene in Thailand gets about a 1 out of ten.

     

    The way they use food handling gloves, touching the moneywith them still on etc makes me honestly believe they think the gloves are to keep their hands clean, not the food. 

     

    The grime and filth in an average shop house "Daam Sang" style restaurant astonishes me. Dirty walls, usually a filthy old paint bucket on the floor used for slops etc, quite often dead cockroaches on the floor, a filthy old rag they use to wipe the cutting board on which they chop vegetables, raw and cooked meats of various animals etc etc, no soap n the bathrooms, no hand washing facilities, filthy plastic chairs that never get cleaned etc etc

     

    Even the cleaner restaurants worry me as I have seen the markets where they source their food.

    Thailand has many many laws, mostly completely ignored by everyone including the police.  This will be just another law that will bring extra Tea money to the BIB.  If they were really concerned about young peoples health they would make them prohibitively expensive and/or ban smoking from everywhere except a persons own home and even then ban it there if there are children under the age of 20. And yes another Thai law states just that.

    like in Africa ?
