toofarnorth Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Is there any proof of this ? You can't just accuse any taxi driver of anything inappropriate without proof. Did the 15 yo say she was touched and if so was she ? For gosh sakes ! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not condoning the drivers actions, but Australians are very paranoid and over zealous about paedophiles to a point i wouldn't even say hello to the kids playing on our street, and even cross over just in case "Mum a man said hello to me". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanWalker Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Legal age to have sex in Thailand is 15, so the taxi driver is good. No issues here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, sex with a minor under age 18 is a compoundable offense, regardless of consent." True if you want to risk it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeseeks Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 21 hours ago, SAFETY FIRST said: Ha, ha, good luck with that. The police aren't concerned about you or your family. The problem is that Western tourists, including this Australian man, think that the Thai police are the same as the Police in their own countries and here to 'serve and protect' when the real motive is to self-enrich and protect local gangsters. This is a direct result of the Police historically being a gang of thugs to protect rich Chinese merchants rather than evolving from a perspective of law enforcement as was the case in Britain for example. They are slowly evolving now but with the entrenched problems the RTP have it is going to be a very long haul getting them to change their traditional mindset and activities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
