khwaibah Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The law states that you must be at least 20 years or older to enter a bar. 18 or older can work in a bar, but not use it on their day off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post laislica Posted March 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 Way to teach the kids, eh. I hope you are not being sarcastic? I believe that Booze is something that youngsters should be made aware of and learn to respect. I live in Spain for half the year and the only drunks I see are visitors, mainly from the UK. The Spanish are generally very we'll behaved with booze. Traditionally, it is just part of life, they see it from the day they are born at the many Fiestas that happen. My experience in the UK as a kid was that it was something NOT allowed and I so much wanted to try it..... With disastrous results I may say. The "Time Gentlemen Please" culture, causes drinkers to rush it down, often drinking more than is sensible. On the continent, no rush and I recall a pint being downed in 15-20 minutes, whereas in Europe, it can last a an hour or more? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The law was stated already above. That said, any given time during the day you can see parents with kids in the beer bars close to the sea in Pattaya. Beer bars are not really all that different from restaurants during the daytime. The bargirls will entertain the youngsters while you may enjoy a cold beer. No alcoholic drinks served for the under aged, naturally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrry Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I do not think it is a big problem. There are places I would and places I would not. I guess I would have been more prepared to take my daughter to one at age 10 rather than age 14 but there really is little reason for that.. All the staff will just treat them as children and will spoil them. I presume of course you are not talking about late at night.

Popular Post Gandtee Posted March 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 Why is Little Mary Sunshine getting out of her cot? There are bars, and there are bars. If the man is popping in for a couple of beers and buying the kids a pop, then why not? If you are talking about girly bars, then that is different question.Not all bars are ones where lechers congregate. There are many where the patrons go for good company and conversation. In my experience the bar staff tend to take the kids under their wing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fatdrunkandstupid Posted March 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 I know of at least a half dozen beer bars in Phuket that regularly have children motoring around inside. Does your kid have blonde hair and white skin. If so he will be quickly whisked away and cuddled to death by the bargirls... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman123 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't see any problem in taking your child, children to the bar in the afternoon,early evenings. I remember my father would buy me and the sis a packet of crisps and a coke while he supped away a few Guinnesses down his neck..! and on occasions i would sip the Guinness myself, maybe that's why I like the black stuff now But if he wants them to go down Nana that would be a different matter for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Political correctness has nothing to do with it. It's just common sense. Of course I imagine 99.9% of the Drunks in Pattaya that ran out on the families and will have nothing to do with them will agree with you; that a BAR is a good environment for a young teenager.

My friends and I didn't need our parents to take us to bars when we were 14, we used to just go on our own. It would have been fun if my folks had occasionally joined us... afterall they were paying so we could have hardly refused to let them drink with us. But my folks didn't like going out to drink so we had to wait until they were leaving Hong Kong before my sister and I could get them out to the bars with us.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post leeroy221 Posted March 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 Really depends on the bar and time. When we are walking back from the beach at Jomtien me, my wife and our 4 yr old often pop into a bar for a quick cold drink. In the evening if we go out for food and our son wants to play pool we will pop into the bar for a game. Really dont see what the major problem is and some peoples responses. Growing up myself, when i was on holiday with my parents in Europe we would quite often in the evening go to a bar gor the entertainment. No huge problem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre0720 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) When I used to travel the greek islands, I would see greek parents taking their kids to restaurants.. Appeared to me that the parents were teaching their adolescent kids how to drink responsibly... Half a beer, small glass of wine... Seemed to work, Did not see drunks there at any age...
