You get a lot of this talk of underage girls selling themslves in Gogo bars. Or HIV statistics that are totaly made up.
I'm not saying its perfect but alot has been done to crackdown on this stuff. The Girls in Nana plaza and other Go Go areas are carrying ID cards with there age on it. Most of the punters are using Durex.Why are there so many people on this site who think whole Bangkok scene hasn't changed since the eighties?
I never visited Bangkok in the eighties, so would not be able to comment on what it was before. I returned 4 days ago from a VERY short visit.
I purposefully visisted the go-go bar area and boys town area (Silom Soi 2 and 4 etc.). I wanted to go there. There are some touts in the street trying to get you to visit these areas, but if it is not to your taste, it is VERY EASY to avoid.
I cannot comment on AIDS figures, but my information is that Thailand AIDS figures are WAY below most of Africa. (Not that that is very good,but BKK is definitely not the worst.)
In all the bars and clubs that I visited I did not see an underage girl or boy.
I believe Thailand is much more than just these guilty pleasures, and the greatest assets are the safe streets and the friendly people. GO AND VISIT !
It's such a pity that most of tourists perceive Bangkok just in this aspect.Why are there so many people on this site who think whole Bangkok scene hasn't changed since the eighties?
ive always wanted to go to thailand... i wonder if the guys there think american chicks are hot.
yes, the scene is getting better, but HIV still around...Why are there so many people on this site who think whole Bangkok scene hasn't changed since the eighties?
I've never been there, and so must rely on the reports of others to form any opinion. The following reference is not encouraging:

I think in Thailand you can get what you are looking for.
Try looking for nice things and nice people.. Thailand has these in great abundance
