My impression was that the bars in Bangkok were very well regulated and everyone was sure to be over 18 in the main Gogo bars.

However I went into one very well known longstanding Gogo bar and had two boys to sit with me. They both said they were 18. I said to the mamasan I can't decide which one to take etc etc. he said to me
No problem we have room for you here you can take boy. I said to him why can't I take to my hotel. He just kept saying 'can't take these boys to hotel can only have in short
Time room' and 'yes sure they are both 18 don't worry. But they don't have id'.

When I insisted there was no way I was taking either of then without id he gave in and send one of them to get his id. He must have thought I wouldn't do the math but when I saw his Id it showed he
Had only just recently turned 17!. I said to the boy I am
Sorry you are too young. Then he pointed at the other boy and said 'he younger than me!'

Of course I took neither boy and I left the bar. I am just really shocked
That this occurred in that particular
Bar it was the last place
I'd expect I see such a thing.
