I thought they all where just a front for shady business

[Burma Bill 3,897]

I wonder what songs were on their list:-

"Come fly with me"

"Money, money,money"

"Love "letters' in the...."

"Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross"......and many more!

This is not the only Pattaya bar engaged in human trafficking.

Show the faces of the filthy paedophiles too!

I struggle to understand why "a delayed brown envelope" came to my mind....

Gotta be honest, I don't know of any foreigners going to karaoke bars. Just too many stories of extortion by the police owners. This one must operate independently from police ownership and so it was shut down.

No extortion in this case! Stranger things have happened.

I find it sad when some people mix up bad things with horrible things.

1) Pedophiles are not interested in girls who are 15 or older. Those girls are too old for them. Most underage girls in bars like above are just a little under 18. That is bad but far away from pedophiles who <deleted> 10 year old children.

2) Is it human trafficking if a 17 year old girl works as prostitute in a bar? It could be if she was abducted from home and forced into prostitution. But that is not what happens often (most of the time?) in Thailand.

What does the law say about foreigner have sex with prostitutes in Thailand? What is the law about under age? 

 

Often 18 year girls look underage, so do not say they do not have tendencies in that directions. Pure bullshit

Will they be deported to Isaan ?

Let's be honest.

No one in his right mind would ever set foot in a karaoke place unless something else was also on offer there.

IME, karaoke bars are almost exclusively used by Thai men.

 

People don't realise that prostitutes in Thailand have far more Thai customers than foreigners. Also, it's the Thai fishbowls and karaoke bars that employ the underage and bonded workers. If there were no Thai customers under age and sex trafficking in Thailand would cease to exist.
