My mate is going to be a first time visitor to LOS in August. He has a preference for young looking slim boys but I stress he is not a pedo and only wants boys of legal age and upwards. I have warned him of the pitfalls of offing this type of guy. However, I was always led to believe that if a boy was offed from a (reputable) bar it was the bars responsibility to ensure that the boy was of legal age and had a legal ID.
I have given my mate all the info on converting Thai to English dates but having seen the standard of photo ID carried by bar boys this is no guarantee that the boy is who he says he is particularly with regards to the photo on the ID.
Can anyone with legal expertise explain the legal position of both parties i.e. the bar and the client?
I assume that in the end it is the client's responsibility to make sure of ID but what defence if any has one got if the bar is employing underage guys. I am referring to boys of say 17 or maybe 16 who pass for someone of legal age.
Replies please ONLY from those with specific knowledge of the legal position.
