It is a lot of fun :thumbsup:

I had a brilliant time there before I had the kids.
Just like anywhere else - it makes sense to stay with your partner /friends and not go away from the crowded areas.

In Saudi it would be behind closed doors, all male, and include dancing boys.

I love the way the writer of the article has so clumsily attempted to sensationalise what is virtually nothing... Thailand is not a particularly extreme nor frightening place by any stretch, there are international hospitals and English speakers everywhere and the police are pretty liberal. No biggy! Find a real story...

Exactly.

And they've been going on for years!
It's 12 years since I was at one - and they weren't new then :rolleyes:

Yup, no idea how this suddenly got top billing on the trash news sites yesterday. Granted, I probably wouldn't send a 17 year old kid to one but then I don't see it as being much different to schoolies...probably less high rises to fall out of on KPN.

I went to one of these in the mid '90s. It was okay and I had a blast but I've been to better parties. There are a lot of wankers there. It was pretty relaxed and I can't see it is any worse (or better depending on your viewpoint) than what goes on in the west.
