Xxx-websites !

Yes, porn is illegal in Thailand so viewing porn online would be illegal in Thailand. But will you get caught? Highly doubtful. They block some sites but don't block all of them I think. They don't do a real efficient job. Some sites of hardcore porn I think they don't block and then some that are not even porn they block mistakenly.

When you say "porn is illegal", does this include sexually explicit photos/videos of you & your partner, who are both well over 18 years of age? Just to be clear, I am talking about the viewing of such porn within the privacy of your own home AND whilst minors are not present.

What if you have a personal website to store the abovementioned photos/videos or if you use a website like "ratefun", & your explicit material is not available for public viewing? Also assume that this/these websites are hosted outside of Thailand & that your partner is not Thai. Of course, I also preclude all cases of "site hacking".

Can you provide definitive evidence to substantiate your claim

Reason for edit - incorrect words changed (from 'private' to 'public') & the insertion of 'not'.

Hard-core porn and most soft-core is considered illegal in Thailand, I believe. I know this from reading several stories about it. I'm talking about technically, according to the law. Google it and some stories may come up. I don't know if your sexually explicit photos count as I haven't seen them. Can you send them to me? Just kidding. The problem is this law is not applied strictly in all cases. Let's just say hard-core porn is illegal in ever situation. Beyond that, I'm not sure exactly the law but I know sometimes they censor nudity in films in the cinema as I have seen this and yet other times they don't. The censors are extremely inconsistent. So, there ya go.

Beyond that, I'm not sure exactly the law but I know sometimes they censor nudity in films in the cinema as I have seen this and yet other times they don't. The censors are extremely inconsistent.

I love the irony in censorship. I would never ever have any interest in watching some guy abusing a sheep or some girl abusing a dog. But yet some censorship board actually has to watch such things in order to make some governmental determination that such things are obscene, should be illegal and prevent others from having access to them.

The same thing could be said for the "self-governing" rating body in Hollywood movies. By some strange logic a movie showing a head shot with a guy's brains getting blown out gets a PG, but a movie flashing some chick's boobs 'n pubes for 2 seconds or a single instance of the "eff word" immediately warrants an R. The whole concept is patronistic and puritanistic, not to mention just plain weird and warped. But even the rating system is a joke. When I was a minor, it was easy to get into R and X rated movies anyway. And there's much more access for today's kids.

Getting back to the OP, in order for governments to censor and police internet traffic, many things have to take place.

- The government has to have a mirror of the ISP's internet gateway. Or all internet gateways must be through government systems, like they do in China (but does anyone really want that?).

- URL blockers, Access Control Lists, and other filtering mechanisms have to be intalled.

- Someone has to monitor the traffic to identify and locate violators.

- There has to be a means and method to enforce the law and prosecute violators. (and allow them a chance to bribe a prosecutor)

Given that porn is ubiquitous on the internet and can be bought at many Bkk street marts, it may be illegal in Thailand. But like the flesh trade, there is clearly de facto tolerance. IMHO, much better to have these industries legalized, for the protection of the workers, and so it can be subjected to the same types of regulation and taxation as any other business.

Some of the emerging Web2.0 technologies may make it easier for wanna-be censors to do their thing. But like almost everything else, the answers don't lie within the halls of the central government. It starts with the parents educating the children, and maintaining some discipline and control over them while they are minors residing in the home.

i used to have tons of porn blocked on true and TT&T

on the other hand TOT government owned company.. allows 100% of porno websites.

What's your point? Are you jealous, sexually frustrated, over sensitive or all of these things? Why were you watching them for over 2 hours?

[ajarnmark]

You are living in Thailand and you want to watch Porn on your computer.... You need to get out more.

as i am not a natural english speaker, could you tell me the deeper meaning of

...you need to get out more .... ?

What does this mean?

[ajarnmark]

Who's Nong Natt?

A Thai girl with big b00bs, featured in porno movies. She loves Japanese.

You are either being a buffoon or you, yourself, do not seem to understand what has been said.

According to the sexually starved "stephaniee", you don't need to log on to anything.

Is xxxx porn better than xxx porn? Is there a greater penalty for watching xxxx porn compared to xxx porn?

I guess I missed that bit, so she doesn't like it but watched for 2 hours

[Brigante7]

ok guys I am pressed for time but you can not tell me you never ever watched that. It is up to you if you like it or not I always say I can get my appetite but I eat at home

nobody will admit to that

want another bet ?

Not only have I watched it in Thailand, I bought 500 DVD's and brought them back to Scotland.

Who's Nong Natt?

A Thai girl with big b00bs, featured in porno movies. She loves Japanese.

A one time minor Thai actress who was charged and fined for making 3 or 4 porn movies outside the country. It says much about Thai justice that the film makers and distributors were never taken to task. Her preference for Japanese may have something to do with her partners endurance - and the big bucks available from Japanese sources. You can bet that she got a great deal more than the the 5K baht that the poor ladies that perform with Naughty Nigel and his gorilla friend are paid.

She appeals to those with a mother fixation (big boobs for a Thai) but I do not find her all that attractive - and her talents no greater then the average bar lady - so I am told.

She has gathered a few shekels since by attending the opening of stores as a 'celebrity'. AFAIK she now lives quietly with her lesbian girlfriend but have heard stories that she rents by the hour for phu yais with more money than sense or taste.

P.S. I am now castigating myself for typing this rubbish rather than directing the enquirer to Google.

And you kept watching the whole two hours?? Wooow

[kmart]

Great. Someone who comes to Thailand to masturbate?? It's not like the internet connections are fast enough to stream anything decent here anyway. A bit like bringing ham sandwiches to a banquet, really.

You watched boys, watching other boys masturbate for over TWO hours? What where you doing while they were watching..

Sorry.. dont answer

But there is the answer.. skip the websites and go for the cams!

I dont see how porno is illegal in thailand when most people selling DVD's in Yarrowat have a selection of pornos for display also.

[Maigo6]

Pornography and prostitution are illegal in Thailand.

The Thai thought police blocked a lot of sites and instead of naughty pictures up popped a less than titillating message from the BIBs. I wonder if they are still doing it?

Pornography and prostitution are illegal in Thailand.

To treat the sad plight of the worlds poorer people with a few emoticons should be illegal too, but it isn't.

Pornography and prostitution are illegal in Thailand as in many other countries, yet it don't stop untold thousands of Farangs flying halfway round the world to break Thailands laws does it ?

I would be perfectly happy if Prostitution were legalized and controlled in such a way it would be just as cheap for Western sex tourists to stay in their own country and exploit drug addicted hookers that prowl the cities of UK, USA etc, instead of travelling the globe to expolit the poor and disadvantaged.

Porn overall is a social benefit for non-monogamous people and world societies in general. The more porn, the less promiscuous sex. The more promiscuous sex, the more STD's and unwanted pregnancies. Thais being a practical people, that is probably why it is illegal while also being widely available. More likely reason: its fun and all the lawmakers like it too.
