Sawatdee Friends,
Tonight - Monday night - I made the rounds of many clubs and bars...
in both the Sunee Plaza and Day-Night Areas.
One of the bar owners I spoke with -
said to me that the Police had recently issued a letter to all owners...
and that the letter stated that all Waiters need be at least 18 years of age...
And...it also said:
That NO Waiter "under the age of 20" is to be "offed from the bar/club".
Therefore, it is now illegal to off - from a Bar or Club -
a Waiter who is 18 or 19 years of age...(Under age 20) in Pattaya.
Please..Mr. Bar and Club Owners...tell us if this in fact is the current law in Pattaya...
and what is the penalty and or fine; and if a Farang will be arrested ...
if they are found to be with a Waiter - away from the bar or club where he works - who is UNDER the age of 20.
Also - what about "short time rooms" some clubs and bars offer...
Is it NOW illegal to be with a boy who is age 18 or 19 ("under age 20")...
in your - "on premises" short time rooms.
I have raised this question because I believe your friends, customers and visitors ...
to Pattaya have a right and need to know....
what the current Police policy or law really is in Pattaya.
And - of course -
If you have a different interpretation of the letter given you by the Police...
please tell us.
Thank you for your helpful replies.
TJ
