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.

Is air visible now?!

Today is only the eighth day, the Immigration website says to wait for 1 month (it rarely takes that long, though) before contacting them with your registered mail receipt. https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=1666

Of course, but the comparison with other banks' rates at the same time can be made which is what he wants to do. Although the exchange rates will change, the differentials between the individual banks' rates will probably not change in any significant way for the same transactions.

Wow, a 65-year old single adult on holiday has been out of touch with his family for five days when the article was published. What's the panic about?

The OP did not ask about proof of consent, did he? No, and I did not say that he did.

"Despite what anyone might decide is or isn't the legal age for sex..." The age of consent is not "something that anyone can decide", it is laid down in law and that age is 15. That is the answer to the question that was asked and that question did not include any qualifications to consider. It's a fact. Bear it in mind.

You left out the important bit No, I did not leave out anything relevant to the specific question, the legal age of consent in Thailand is 15. 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 and that's what he asked about.

No, I am not condoning underage sex (I have specifically posted that I do not condone it), I am answering the OP's question - the legal age for giving consent for sex in Thailand is 15, it is not 18 and any age difference has no relevance to the legal answer to the question asked, the legal age is still 15. You may not approve of Thailand's law on the subject but your opinion does not affect the answer. If you believe that the age of consent for sex is 18 in Thailand, please produce some evidence to back your claim.

The OP's question was "What is the legal age of consent" (in relation to his friend's situation), that's all, so the answer to his question is cut and dried in that context...it is 15. That is all that I was commenting on.
