webfact Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Thai woman can claim "sex toy damages", top lawyer Picture: Daily News A top Thai online lawyer has clarified the law relating to sex toys and defamation. The comments come in the wake of the sacking of four employees of Kerry Express who showed the contents of a damaged parcel online. It contained a dildo and other sex toys addressed to a Thai woman . The female name of the recipient of the package was named in the comments section of the post on the @LA fan page, reported Daily News Online. Ratchaphon Sirisakhorn - who runs the "Sai Trong Kotmai" (Law Direct) page - is well known for offering his opinion about issues related to the law. He said that sex toys were illegal in Thailand both in selling and receiving them and even in aiding and abetting their use. But the seller of the toys could not claim damages as they had broken the law in the first place. However, the recipient could make a claim for loss of face. This could result in a jail term of 2 years for the Kerry employee or employees who posted the pictures and her name. A fine of up to 200,000 baht could also be levied. In addition the woman could sue Kerry for damages and they in turn could sue the employees for the money. The four employees have been sacked by Kerry. They were not entitled to compensation, said the lawyer. Thaivisa notes that online lawyers are often quoted in news stories in Thailand. Lawyer Worayuth Bunwongsai created a stir last year when he said that people could be prosecuted for defamation if they insulted a Thai woman by saying she had small breasts. Calling a woman flat chested could get you a year in jail, reports suggested.

I suppose it will be up to the cops to decide the percentage of face that was lost? How is that calculated I wonder. A bit of embarrassed cheek redness may be a 1 month lockup. Eyes averted downward and hand over the brow gets you 3 to 6 months. A full facepalm maybe 12 months. The dark glasses, smog mask and baseball cap would easily be 18 months and the full double facepalm earns you 2 years incarceration. Or is there already a published scale of face loss against degree of punishment? In the Royal Gazette maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there's a Pantone red colour chart that can be placed against the (facial) cheeks to show the embarrassment factor, and hence determine financial recompense.

OneMoreFarang Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 She should have gone to Sukhumvit for shopping. I remember huge selections in all king of sizes and colors. Madam do you want the big black one or the small one in pink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick44 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The real story here is the laws of this country. Do the authorities enjoy being the laughing stock of the entire world? I suppose there is a death penalty for acquiring sex toys, just as there is for taking a selfie outside an airport and for seasteaders anchoring up in international waters outside Phuket 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be laughable... except they are used to trap innocent citizens. Is there a sinister reason, or just the usual laziness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkidlad Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Apparently her boyfriend will leave her because people knowing you enjoy sex and find it fun is abhorrent. While anyone who can apply logic and reason will think the boyfriend is an immature narcissist playing the morality card, many here will find his act virtuous. Sex toys and sex for pleasure and fun is bad (especially if you’re a woman). Corruption is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icantbelieveit Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Come on seriously. Haven’t you seen male body parts made of wood in different colors at shops near temples and in stores almost everywhere. I have seen keychains even in plain sight. I was told they are supposed to be good luck charms. So, someone motorized these lucky charms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
