Given that: this Diamond bar obviously can't advertise; nor would they be welcome hosting a PGF fund raiser to boost their visability; the owner is reputed to be one in authority; and operating a gogo bar requires many customers to be profitable.

Would it be stretching the imagination too much to suggest that a high profile arrest reported locally and abroad could be a planned advertising strategy to increase the bar's profile to those with an interest in underage sex? I mean we now have the name of the bar and it's location and it's activities well publicised.

I would think a better deterrent would be to follow the trial of the accused and showcase the life of those convicted. I know there have been a few such reports but too often any reporting ends with the high profile arrest.

Well, they do always change their name.

You really have big problems! I am happy to live in europe.Most countries have legal age of 16 or 15 years for gay-sex. Only when i stay in thailand i also obey the 18years-law of thailand.

Yes, the US is a strange country. The age of consent in many US states is well under 18, but for Americans travelling abroad, the age is the federal age, 18, and Americans can be (and are being) prosecuted under US law for sex crimes in foreign countries, even when they have not broken the laws of that country!
It is kind of the way it is.
American gays are lucky right now they aren't being arrested just for being gay, considering the attitudes of Bush's supporters.

It's more than strange. Thankfully in addition to religious fanatics and warmongers, we also have airports.

Apparently, too, in Colorado it is legal for girls 15 years of age and under to enter common-law marriages but not legally-sanctioned ones - http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/06/15/teen. ... index.html

The USA really does seem to be getting odder every day.

I think the whole world is odd.

[boygeorge]

I think that those poofs who kiss each other in the street should be arrested.
I had 2 poofs kissing each other on a bus I was on the other day in the City and this was at 7am in the morning,I had to tell em, "Give it up you pair of dirty bastards ya gonna make me spew ya cunts ! These 2 decided to both give me dirty looks and got off the bus after sticking there finger up at me at the exit doors,the bus driver didnt say anything,but i reckon he agreed with what i said.

Why would a woolymoof that lives in the gay capital of Oz Oxford Street, be upset by 2 guys kissing.

Jealousy is such a waste.

Maybe it is beacause they were not midgets you got upset.

19 underage boys found offering sexual services in Sunee Plaza bar

Boonlua Chatree

Police raiding a boy go-go bar shortly after midnight on June 13 found a number of underage boys along with rooms on the upper level of the premises where they offered sexual services to foreign visitors.

Pol Lt Col Wuttichart Luonsukhan, superintendent of Pattaya tourist police led the team of officers investigating Diamond Go-Go at Soi Sunee Plaza.
The door was open when police arrived and they walked in to a conventional go-go setup with flashing lights and blaring music. However, there were boys aged between 11-17 years and wearing only underpants dancing around poles, while many foreign tourists sat around watching. Police ordered that the music be stopped and the lights turned on before ordering the boys into a corner and telling them to get dressed before checking their ID cards.

There were a total of 19 boys aged between 11 and 17. Further investigations of the four-story building revealed that the upper levels had been divided off into small rooms. Police opened the doors to the rooms on the second floor. In one they found an American national identified as Ronald Sims, 44, who was lying naked while a 17-year-old boy (name withheld) was providing sexual services. Police told them to stop and get dressed before arresting Sims and taking the boy downstairs for questioning.

Jaray Latum, 27, admitted that he managed the premises and hired the boys for 1,500 baht a month. If foreigners requested sexual services they had to pay a 200 baht services fee and the boys agreed their own fees with the foreigners. The license owner, Wittaya Kuanamon, 28, was not on the premises. Police confiscated the operating license and arrested Jaray on charges of acting as a pimp for young boys under 18. He was taken to Pattaya tourist police headquarters for further questioning.
Sims was charged with committing lewd acts with a minor. The 19 boys’ names were recorded and they were taken into custody while waiting for their parents to come and take them home. Two of the boys were 12-year-old Malaysians who were also taken into custody to wait for their parents to come and collect them.

[let me tell u]

My spies tell me 600,000 baht ahs been paid, but how it goes down when he gets back to USA I dont know, woth World Vision on he case, but then again he was lucky it was 16 or over or there would have been dire consequences Im told???

[Dodger]

Young boys dancing around on a stage wearing only their underpants...I'M OUTRAGED!!!

And right in the middle of Sunee Plaza mind you.

The next thing you know there will be young boys just strolling around in public selling sex.

What's this world coming to.

And a grown man engaging in sexual conduct with a 17 year old boy...I'm speechless.

Boy Special was 18 when we first met, and for the life of me, I couldn't imagine having sex with him before his birthday. He simply would not have been mature enough to handle the emotional impact. But at 18, everything just magically changed. I remember asking him once if he ever masturbated prior to his 18th birthday, and he responded in a very embarrassed manner..."yes, but only once, and I get sick every time I think about it".

[homintern]

So your boyfriend is a potato queen, Dodger? Because, as I'm sure you know, he could have been having fun legally with other Thai boys for 3 years before he took up with you. It's just that law classifies him as a prostitute because he goes with Western men, so he had to remain inviolate until the age of 18

[boygeorge]

I see all the poofs are out.
