Brilliant. A good move if it get followed up in real life.

This law need to be  frequently repeated in the news, so all get reminded about the severe consequences.

Sadly, abuse of children happen in many countries, and often ignored. 

I don't understand why people would sexually molest children.  Prostitution is everywhere in Thailand and it's easy enough to get some pussy.  Why do adults, mostly males have to attack children?  Chemically castrate the offenders or better still kill them.

Maybe the blokes get caught but there are loads of women and ladyboys in Thailand that molest underage kids and facilitate in their traffic. Death penalty for these scumbags is the most sensible thing I have heard in a long while......big jump from a 200,000thb fine ????

I would say the Thin Brown Line and the Wigs will making paydirt on the wealthy Rock Spiders and old Somchai the Kiddy fiddler will be getting a bullet in the back.

Great all those including the monk who raped his young  daughter child molesting is heinous crime to say the least.  Trust this law  retrospective either foreigner or Thai ? 

Well thats all fine and dandy, but this is Thailand afterall and we all know that harsh sentences can be suddenly made mild or non existant at all for the right remuneration pointed in the right direction.   Even red notices can quietly go to the bottom of the pile.

A long broom handle rammed up their a$# first then death

Many in Thailand go unreported... that's the real issue.

I agree, but you would have to be 100% certain that they are guilty.

So this will apply to the monk who raped his 14 year old daughter?

No, he has already wai'd 10 times and missed the alms round for 2 days - so all is forgiven.

Ok to kill  about 14 children every day on the roads here.

some things they will never address.

 

But yes,  the op,  lock the bad guys up for life for doing stuff to kids.

Maybe a review after 20 years. No pardon stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for this type of crime.

I've worked with Thai children for 5 years, even many girls 18 years of age.  NOT ONCE did I have an urge.  Not one time.   I always prided myself on that.   Teacher, student, your mind must switch off and realize they are very, very vulnerable.   probably still vulnerable at 25, but ..... well, ah..... lol.

 

Anyhow, I'm guessing it's a power trip.   A man super insecure who must show some dominance over anything; animal, kid, maybe old people, etc.......  then we have to wonder about childhood trauma, sickness, on drugs, mentally incapable of anything, IQ under 60, who knows......   but I'm guessing power is high on the charts.  A bargirl gives you all the power you want.......not sure a sicko would want that.

 

 Death penalty or life in jail for violent abusers of children 

 

Never mind 200K or 10/20 yr jail.

Any Sexual offender off kids,  no matter what age ,and Rape no matter what age male/female Life in jail No Parole or Dead penalty.

Or better ,when they get caught ,take them down the back and shoot the Vermin, then there's no cost to the tax payer to look after them .

why a long list? There should only be two punishments Death or life in the worst possible prison after having undergone the removal of all genital parts and fitting with a colostomy bag and rectal stitching.

"Can" get you 1 - 20 years in jail and a fine up to 200,000 Baht.

"Lesse majestee" offenses carry a SURE 18 years in jail and no chance to get a cut of the jail term.

Dare to post a REALITY about a bad service at a restaurant or a hotel makes SURE minimum 3 years in jail and a lot more than a poor 200,000 Baht.

All depends where the priorities of Thailand are, and they are already well known by most expats.

No need to be civilised with trash.

Are you fiddling  about down in Boyztown wearing short shorts with small boys?

Did I read this correctly? 

 

Molesting children under 13 warrants 1-10 years in jail and a fine up to 200,000 baht.

Longer prison terms are given where there is anal penetration.

 

So if I have anal sex with a child under 13, depending on the size of my &%$#@, my jail time could be 1 year, 1 month???

 

Hence the reason, why people have sex with children! ! !  

 

Hardly a penalty and free food and shelter.

Does this include walking away from a child without penalty/child support?
