Legal age to have sex in Thailand is 15, so the taxi driver is good. No issues here. 

 

"... However, sex with a minor under age 18 is a compoundable offense, regardless of consent."

 

True if you want to risk it

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.
