Sunee Plaza, Boyztown and underage guys?

[gerefan2]

I look at their ID before I leave the bar for several reasons:

1. To make sure he actually has ID! Some don't and show you silly things like Gym membership cards!
2. To make sure, as much as I can, that it is HIS ID. You can only go by the pic, so not easy.
3. To check his age. The new, genuine, Thai ID has the age in our calendar years as well as Thai years. If its only in Thai (unlikely nowadays) then just do the sums. 2018 is 2561. So your guy needs to be born before 2543. Simple.

If you cannot read the month then make sure he is 19!

The minimum age is 18, BUT the Thais count the first year of their lives as 1, so sometimes a person may say he is 20, but in our terms he is only 19...how this works legally I have no idea.

If in doubt stick to19 yo's
