For anyone's information, Thailand is extremely strict about child abuse. Mess around with anyone under 18 and you are SURE to find yourself in a Thai prison for life. In New York City ( the states of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut ), the legal age of consent is 17. In Thailand, the age is 18. And EVERYONE checks... in three ways. So if anyone is thinking about going to Thailand for child-sex.... You'd better think again! It's not going to happen there without severe consequences.

Hmmm.... Unbiased disagreement disagrees.

We need a Forum for open adult discussion.

Yeah, like a Thai resort with an "anything goes" attitude! If your goal is to increase bitcoin's negative stigma, congrats.

A number of countries including my own introduced laws enabling them to prosecute their citizens for sexual offences against children committed abroad precisely because sexual tourism to countries where child prostitution is endemic and the local authorities either turn a blind eye to or are actively involved in the commercial sexual exploitation of children.

Perhaps Bruce was so dazzled by the limo service provided by the hotel (something which is pretty standard throughout SE Asia and not unusual elsewhere either) that he was blind to everything else around him in Pattaya when he visited. Given how impressed he seems to be that food and alcohol will be provided on the "world cruise", I wonder what he'll fail to notice going on around him on that adventure.
