Speak for yourself. I left home at 16, worked, supported myself, etc. etc. It was the best decision I ever made. I was already more mature then a lot of supposed adults I meet now, many of whom are still dumb and full off it despite being decades older. 

Read  again. please  :  I didn't say Everyone who's 16 . I said that there are so many young people acting Stupid.

Is the boy a gay?

If so and the family learn of that maybe they will offer 20,000 to make sure he stays in Pattaya?!

Reads like he was in Bangers with relo's and decided he needed to head to Patts to get his end wet without telling them.

He should of went to Soi 4 Nana

If has sex with a prostitute that would be illegal because he's under age?

Off topic ... in USA, parents have no right to control their kids at any age.  If kids disagree, they sue for emancipation, since  being mentally abused.

Which probably explains why half the Country like shooting each other...................

Perhaps that is all they can afford right now.

Perhaps, they spent all their money on his holiday

My mother used to wrap my sandwiches up in a road map do you think she was trying to tell me something? Anyway as a 16 year old apprentice I was working all over the country staying in guest houses I loved it.

Thousands do it!  A levels finished and off you go travelling.  Thailand is a tick box destination at that age.  How many chubby 17 year old boys can get told several times every day that they are a "hansum man" by dozens of attractive young girls who are happy to (deleted) your brains out over and over again.  The kid is making memories!

I thought the parents were in Bangkok or something, it says in the article "His family believe he is now staying in the notorious party city of Pattaya some 90 miles (145km) away"..  Away from what?? From the family?????

Did I miss something here??

British teenager who went missing in Thailand's 'Sin City' Pattaya over the weekend.

Poor kid, probably still a Virgin with those looks. 

 

He's found heaven. 

 

I reckon he's got a few stories to tell his mates when he gets back home

Yes you did. His parents are still in Gateshead. He stayed with an aunt who had to go back to UK on orders from her 18 month old baby . So he 4u.ked off to Pattaya, on the same day that he arrived if I read it correctly..

Foreigners are rarely (never?) ID'd in bars, especially if they look old enough.

Cannot book a hotel in Thailand at 17.  Considered a minor... 

Likely found someone to stay with and is having a grand ole time! 

Hmmmm.... Might be, but don´t you think that the smaller hotels overlook that and that some never ask for id? One thing, that we are in agreement about is that he is most likely partying his <deleted> off. ????
