1) How much does is it cost? If I smoke 4 boys, is 100 baht for each one adequate?
2) Is this done only in Nature Boys or in all/most bars? 3) Will they also smoke me right there at the table? How much will that cost? 4) Do cops really walk in? Scouring this and other forums, I've seen no mention of such an occurance...

Uniformed.
Anyway, I think it's just too risky for me as a foreigner who makes his living and permanent home in Bangkok. All tourists are risking is maybe a couple days in the can, a fine, their photos in the paper, and deportation...unless the boy happens to be shy of his 18th birthday (Nature Boy has been known to be flexible on this issue). Then they're in a bunch of trouble. Anyway, as long as people are reminded that this is an AYOR activity...

2) If policmen do come in, how long should it take the "cigar" to disappear back into the loincloth? Not having lived through such a scene, I find the thought of it quite entertaining...

1) Isn't getting a room more expensive, especially if you want a bunch of them?
Yes, of course it is. But how much do you think it would cost you to get out of a "predicament". 2) If policmen do come in, how long should it take the "cigar" to disappear back into the loincloth? Too long for my tastes. I'm not willing to risk it, not that I have a proclivity for public performances anyway.

-- Points well-taken; - Let me write that I know that I'm taking a risk to my permitted stay here in the LoS. and that I'm relying-on four equally uncertain & AYOR. bases: - 1. - That the Capt. told me that he doesn't expect any trouble from BKK's. Finest; 2. - That that estab., and others, makes its regular donations to the appropriate Benefit Fund; 3. - That the barker/caller/tout at the door can recognise a uniformed police-person when he sees one and can alert those inside in time; 4. - That were the local police-persons to pay a visit then word would have got-out about it beforehand. -- But, the above having been written, "Up to you."!

Pretty much worthless, sextile.
First, the captain of course is going to tell you "no problem, no problem". That's how he stays in business. Second, there are a dozen or more police units -- not just the local Bangrak police -- who could show up unannounced if they wanted to. The CSD, the special Women, Children, and Youth Welfare Police, regional police, tourist police...who knows what else. There is no way a bar the size of a postage stamp has is paying off every single unit and every single commander that has the power to do a raid. Commanders also shift around frequently, and often begin their sideline money-making ventures with a firm show of authority. In fact, it wasn't too long ago that Nature Boy's own captain was arrested for procurement of child prostitutes for customers. It was in the papers. Third, the cops are not always uniformed, and in fact use both plain clothed Thais as well as farang volunteers. If someone were make a specific complaint, say to the Paveena Hongsakul Foundation or similar do-gooder unit, there would be swift action regardless of any payments made to the local police. Fourth, as noted above, the bar may have a connection at the local cop shop -- but they may not be the ones who make a surprise visit. Anyway, we're all entitled to set our own levels of acceptable risk. It just helps to understand exactly what that risk is, and I don't want casual visitors to Thailand to have a false sense of security based on what they may have read here. It's serious business.

On another subject I was also propositioned to engage in under-age sex when visiting Nature Boy, not by the Captain, but on leaving by one of the group of guys who sit just outside. I was offered a boy located in the tout's room ("not far away - safe ok!") which I firmly declined.
