Ok, that clears it a bit up for me. I was under the impression - in the other thread - it was done in the open. That everyone visiting Sunee could see boys as young as 12 on stage and walking with their customers to their hotel. Now I understand it was at least a bit hidden. You had to be a regular visitor to notice something was going on? I also understand now the pedophile didn't walk with the boy to his hotel in the open, but the boys were send secretly to him. That explains then for me why it could last and many didn't call police, because apparently many didn't know. Correct?firecat69 wrote: Yes even customers I talked to and then was advised by friends why they came to Sunee. I spent a lot of time in Sunee back then and many times I was flabbergasted when others told me what was going on . Thai boys from Bars delivering underage boys to customers . At least 2 Bars that were known for having mostly pedophiles for customers and yes a Beer Bar I spent quite a bit of time in because of waiters I knew for years when they used to be GoGo Boys.
But you knew. You even talked to these people back then. Why did you not contact their embassy? GB advised not to go to police only when you are not sure. That is a wise advice. But in the Sunee situation in 1995 it is not a: "I am not 100% sure, better not go police" situation, it was - for you at least - a situation like: "I am 100% sure, and still I not contact authorities in Thailand or the embassy of that Farang". Why? What held you back?
By the way I love the nostalgia, the pictures and videos. These pictures of GB looks like they could have been made today. I mean the scenery. Of course we now have other bars. But can you see by looking at these pictures that this are 10 year old photos (disregarding the bar signs).
Someone should write a book about the Pattaya gay scene from start to now.
