Jimjim Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It's 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! 18! Actually, just one 18. 15 is the legal age of consent if you're both under the age of 18 and 15 or over. So, for everyone over 18, it's 18. Don't be stupid you could have some angry father wanting to kill you and face bad jail time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuestHouse Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 If you have to post this question, the answer is probably "too young" I agree... how old is the OP I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thai law states that the age of consent is 15 years of age. But if the police thinks that she is "working" you're in problem. The "Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act of 1996" outlawed the hiring of prostitutes under the age of 18. She can though get married when she's 17 years.

kingsrdStu Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 If you have to post this question, the answer is probably "too young" I agree... how old is the OP I wonder? He's too old for her, as is always the case. Does this make a difference if talking Thai years as that would make her 18+ (17+ to you and me) and also the relationship comes with parental consent.... Sorry, he's a good friend and i don't want him to fall foul.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYENA Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 If you have to post this question, the answer is probably "too young" I agree... how old is the OP I wonder? If you're from the US and you're with anyone under 18 regardless of the local laws, you come home and can be prosecuted (they really do wait for you at the airport these days). Not sure if any other countries have across border laws like this... If he's 18 and she's 17, no one will bat an eye. If he's 30 and she's 17, he needs to be in jail. What a sick question...needing to know doesn't somehow excuse unexcusable behavior! let a girl have her childhood for God's sake! Don't you think there are tens of thousands of others more willing and older? Why prey on THAT one? If you have to ask, IT'S PLAIN WRONG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hello, read my initial post everybody. If you're over 18, just do not touch any girl under 18. It brings you all kinds of trouble with the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be the 1st to agree with you. i'm in my 40's and my Thai Wife is 9 years younger than me, but everyone knows that Older Man - Younger Woman relationships are more than common here. I would and have advised him against it......! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this rule as it suggests that it is OK to hire a prostitute over the age of 18, despite prostitution being illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacup Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 For me... I think the age of consent should be…….as soon as she is old enough to understand the consequences of sexual behavior and its consequences. Still no one wants to see 14 or 15 yrs old having 2 kids!!! Also.......Let the man sweat. Maybe he will gain more respect for women that way, me think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was set up as a source of advice, not to critisize someone's actions... The OP had met the girl and wanted to know how he stood before proceeding further, no crime had been commited or dirty deed done. It's never been easy to understand how the law works on this matter, my wife has a blood relative who married at 18 and the girl gave birth before 16........

If the girl in question was "64 DAYS" older then no-one would give a toss. Personally I wouldn't want a relationship with someone that age, but it's not all 1-Way-Traffic - the girl likes him aswell.......! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG16 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 according to Thai Penal Code: a Child: anyone not over 18 years of age theres a few laws that would apply but Im not going to go into it. Some relevant ones I can think of are: ‘Offences relating to sexuality’Section 277 of the Penal Code "WHOEVER has sexual intercourse with a girl not yet over fifteen years of age and not being his own wife, whether such girl shall consent or not, shall be punished with imprisonment of four to twenty years and fined between Bt8,000 to Bt40,000. "If the commission of the offence according to the first paragraph is committed against a girl not yet over thirteen years of age, the offender shall be punished with imprisonment of seven to twenty years and fine of Bt14,000 to Bt40,000 or imprisonment for life." theres also similar statement for those between 15 and 18 years of age, with imprisonment term for offender, same condition, whether or not the other party consents. the jail term is slightly lower “Section 283 bis. Whoever brings a person over fifteen years but not yet over eighteen years of age for an indecent sexual purpose, even with the consent of that person, shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding five years, I suggest, you, your friend, read up on the law. I cant claim this info is hundred per cent accurate. Thailand has had many amendments to its legislations in recent years, and not being an expert in the field I cant claim to know for sure. However, Im also closing this thread before it turns into a flame fest. source for Thai Penal Code: http://www.interpol.int/public/Children/Se...csaThailand.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
