Well you would if he was one of your own family or close friend. After only five days without contact, no, I would not, I would not even think about it.

He wasn't a detainee, he was being taken from a hospital to a special psychiatric facility for treatment.

He wasn't "the accused", he was a patient!

First off, he wasn't being detained, he and his mother were being assisted to get treatment for his problem after his mother requested help... " Four patrol police officers then went to pick up the mentally ill individual at the hospital to receive medical treatment at a special psychiatric facility".

His mother who was there also, presumably.

It was not reported that he was in the front seat of the vehicle.

Thats not what Im asking at all. Im asking if my friend bangs an 18 year old is he in legal jeopardy. Er, read the title of your OP, that is exactly what you asked... "Whats the legal age of consent in Thailand. Its confusing". Why should your friend be in legal jeopardy for banging someone over the age of consent?

Where in the Thai Criminal Code is that stated? Which Section states that "the age of consent for sexual activity in Thailand is 18"?

Only for 15 to 17yos. The age of legal sex for adults is 18. Nonsense. The legal age to give consent for sexual activity in Thailand is 15, regardless of the age of an older party. "The term ‘age of consent’ specifically refers to the minimum age at which a person is considered legally competent to provide consent for engaging in sexual acts. Individuals below this age do not possess the legal capacity to consent to sexual activities. In Thailand, the age of consent is set at 15 years old". https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-law/legal-age-of-consent-in-thailand/#:~:text=Individuals below this age do,any form of sexual activity. "Age of Consent: 15 years old Criminal Code of Thailand Sec. 277 Whoever, has sexual intercourse with a girl not yet over fifteen years of age and not being his own wife, whether such girl shall consent or not, shall be punished with imprisonment of four to twenty years and fined of eight thousand to forty thousand Baht". https://www.icmec.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ICMEC-Thailand-National-Legislation-updated.pdf "The age of sexual consent for both boys and girls is 15 years". https://ecpat.org/country/thailand/ "What do you know of the age of sexual consent in Thailand? Teenage sexual encounters are not something that many of us are comfortable talking about, but perhaps they should be – to protect our children. In Thailand the official legal age of consent is 15 years old". https://www.lannaist.ac.th/keeping-our-teenage-children-safe/

Not for a 40yo. Your response was irresponsible and misleading. Why are you suggesting it is so? The legal age for consent for sexual activity is 15 in Thailand, that is why I am saying that it is so, because that is the law. There is no different age depending on the older age of one of the parties. That is the only thing that I have been commenting on.

The arrangement has always been to pay at the local post office and collect the package; I doubt that the postmen would be lumbered with the potential of having to cart around all day, and return to the PO with, who-knows-how-many unpaid-for packages.

That's a rather politicly incorrect term but made me laugh. link to the original article https://siamrath.co.th/n/533994 That's not the only one...from the Google translation of the Siam Rath article... " By the front camera The person who followed was able to clearly record the image while crashing, found that Polish potatoes rode the car. Come down the road at the speed before the car stops.The band is going to sell the roti. Turned off the front to go to the front eute. Causing a great crash. People and cars.Bounced off each direction".

It is not that "I consider that to be the age of consent", it is not my considered opinion, it is a fact. The only subject that I have been responding about is what the OP asked, "What is the age of consent in Thailand" and it is 15.

Yes, that is the simple "typical AN retard archetype dropping brainfarts" [sic], to use your words, answer, it is also the wrong answer; the legal age of consent for sexual activity in Thailand (the only question the OP asked) is 15, like it or not.

IMO any middle aged man that wants to bonk a 15 year old should be very very careful. After all, what could possibly go wrong with that? I don't disagree with you on that, neither have I condoned it.

https://thailawonline.com/prostitution I have read the PREVENTION AND SUPPRESSION OF PROSTITUTION ACT B.E. 2539 (1996) many times and some daft article's inaccurate assessment that states that "Yes, it is illegal", then goes on to say "Thailand’s Penal Code does not explicitly state that prostitution is illegal" has no credibility and certainly doesn't override the Act. Certain aspects are such as soliciting, working in/operating a brothel, pimping, living off the earnings of a prostitute, amongst others are illegal. The act of paying someone for sex is not illegal on its own.

What makes you say that he'll be on overstay on Monday, have you seen his visa?

Because he MISSED HIS FLIGHT, and hasn't contacted his family. FOR FIVE DAYS, THAT'S ALL, he's a single adult man on holiday in Thailand!

When's the funny joke coming?

The son was, their daughter isn't.

The daughter being abused is his child.

What do you base that predicted outcome on?

Garbage. Not at all representative of most Thais as you assert.

Lets hope you don't have to regret this comment. Obviously, I hope that he's fine but, even if something untoward has happened, I won't be regretting my comment about a panic after just five days.

Thank you.
