Filming Porn in Thailand - Legal? Grey area? Illegal?

[PunkRockerGuy]

Not sure if this right place for this post, so please forgive the mistake and place in the appropriate forum, if necessary.

I seem to remember years ago, the semi-famous Ed Powers came to Thailand before IMF even, and did some Dirty Debutantes filming which back then required large cams and lighting set-ups in hotel rooms. And I have stumbled across the occasional Thai-based in hotel room porn with what seems to be 2 semi-famous (though not terribly attractive in my opinion Thai girls who work with the same film crew guys each time. Thus, I wondered if just the act of filming "sex" on camera is illegal or not in Thailand. Or, further yet, what if payment/commission was promised at a later date if an internet distributor or DVD distributor bought the film. Any ideas if the girls involved are in any hot water? What about the guy filming, especially if it was just for his private collection??

Just curious ....

Like many laws in Thailand, it depends on who wants to enforce it, how they choose to interpret it, and how much money is involved.

In using Thai Visa I agree:

16) Not to post about gambling, betting, pornography, illegal drugs, fake goods/clothing etc and other activities that are officially illegal in Thailand.
