Protecting Young Thai Girls

[BKKBodhisattva]

I've seen a few threads on this forum in which men aged 50-60 years old and up seem to revel in how close they can get to breaking the laws of decency and the land when it comes to paying to bed young Thai sexual partners aged 17-18.

"The younger, the better" seems to be the order of the day provided they don't go below the legal age.

I find this morally repugnant and I know I'm not alone

Compared to Western girls of the same age, 17-18 year old Thai girls aren't as mature or experienced so, with that in mind, do they really have the emotional capacity to make a decision to have sex with a man 3 times their age?

I don't think so

Should Thailand enact laws that make it illegal for a foreign male over the age of 50 to have sexual relations with any Thai female under the age of 22?

I think it should.

Thailand has lots of laws but they never seem to be enforced,so why bother.

If it's not broke don't fix it.

[fish fingers]

Does this apply to thai men as well as foreigners? I would say most of the massage parlours on the outskirts of BK service older men, I'm sure many of the girls are under 22.

Worthy sentiment but 'two

consenting adults' is the

well-worn line that these

men reel off with a really

smug look on their faces

as if it trumps anything you

could possiblysay

afterwards.

I have to say, I'd definitely be

in favour of that law. There's

nought wrong with older

guys going with younger

women but a line's gotta be

drawn somewhere.

Its not about protecting young Thai girls , it should be dont abuse any women, what ever Nationality,Many Do not understand or want to understand Thai culture, many men think All these bar girls and older women sell there bodys because they are nymphomaniacs. Most sex tourist come to Thailand because they can get away with things they would not dare to do at home.

[giddyup]

Why not make it world-wide, you can't just discriminate. So it would be illegal for some 60 year old, mega-rich rock star in America or the UK to marry or have sex with any girl under 20. Good luck with that. Why do you think all those 16 year old groupies are down at the stage at rock concerts?

[BKKBodhisattva]

Oh I get it.

I'm a troll because I dare to question what you perceive is your God-given right to pay to push your senile penile into a girl a third of your age?

Well alright then

The Thais don't care what foreigners want or do ......... they just want the money.

If you want to get on a soapbox and preach about protecting women, young or otherwise, I suggest you get the next plane to Yemen or Saudi Arabia and see how you go.

@OP

Age of consent in Spain is 13, why not have a go there first?

[NickJ]

How many motorbikes, pick ups even houses are bought for good old mom and dad from these young girls????? That money train would take more than a ban or crackdown to derail.

Same old song different lyrics.

It's the same the world over, it's just a difference of bank balance. Money and power attracts women like bees to honey.

Can you believe it? This guy wins$181million in the lottery and then finds the love of his life ....just2 days later. Talk about LUCK!!

...and what law is that, Thai law, Shariah law, Western law, or God's law. Who do you think makes laws, the pixies? Wake up, the age of consent is different in different countries, as low as 13 in some. So, who's dumb?

[CharlieH]

Often referred to as a "love hate relationship"..........she loves the Money, he Hates being alone, and look what the money can get.

This topic and subject matter just keeps on revolving. same old arguments, same old regurgitated but slightly re-worded responses.

The law Thai policymakers

would introduce to protect

young girls under the age

of 22 from foreign men over

the age of 50.That's what

the OP was calling for.

I disagree.

I'm not suggesting that big age gaps in relationships are wrong because I don't believe they are. If a 55 year old wants to date or marry a 25 year old, all well and good. If that's based on money or whatever, who cares?

I'm suggesting that Thai girls under the age of 22 - unlike similarly aged girls in the USA or Europe - don't really have the emotional maturity to consider the implications and ramifications of having a physical relationship with a man three times their age and, therefore, should be protected from predatory foreigners who are far more likely to seek them out purely for sex.

I'd like to see it extended to Thai men too but there are some cultural aspects that might cause stiff resistance.

Most of us are from countries where the sight of a 60 year old man clearly in a physical relationship with a 17 or 18 year old girl would be considered highly objectionable so most of us wouldn't have a problem with the passing of such a law.

Like to tell me how such a law would be enforced? Would we have the bedroom police knocking on hotel doors asking for birth certificates? Why not go the full hog and ban all sex before marriage.

Predatory foreigners? Give me a break! Most of the girls who come to places like Pattaya to work in bars have already been preyed on by either members of their own family, or local village guys, who have got them pregnant, abandoned them, and the family has then sent them out to earn money any way they can. No questions asked.

[CharlieH]

Any such law, like many others concerning that kind of activity would merely push it underground or into the shadows, but would do little to eliminate it. As they say its the oldest profession in the world.

In Thailand having laws requires someone to enforce them, therein is the major problem, action and consequence balanced against power/position and hard cash. Anyone who has spent any time in Thailand knows how that story will end. Is it right ?, no, but it is realistic of the environment you are talking about.

So why not ban them from driving a car, a motorcycle, having children or voting too?

If they ain't mature enough?

Anyway, pointless posting your ravings here, why not do it the proper way and stand outside PM Prayuts house with a placard?

Or lobby those guys writing the new charter?

We don't make the laws here, you're wasting your breath!

And they will get it by extortion or taking you to court, when you have sex with their under-age daughter.

[arunsakda]

Thais are not unaware that their country has an unfortunate reputation. One only need to look at the Hangover series of films to see "Thailand" is an international metaphor for debauched behavior. I think the authorities should randomly raid and prosecute for vague morals charges, these randy foreigners. From scummy bars in Patts to lobby lounges in 5 star Silom hotels. Name and shame and out put pictures in the media. Hopefully they will catch a few high profile western Ceo's or politicians.

This should stop many from flying halfway around the world to buy sex. They can take a prostitute in their own country, no? Plenty of slappers on West Street Scunthorpe for example. No need to come to Thailand to debase and violate local women.

[rijb]

Who's going to protect the men from those young 'innocent' girls?

Most Thai women have enough 'emotional capacity' to know that they have the real power. And they're not afraid to use it.

you beat me to it,,

i see them in the village with the older thai youth who has a motor bike and just sits around getting drunk, and i think to myself and say it to the wife silly young sod, she will end up pattaya in a couple of years,

they have a dabble in the village get pregnent and as we know the rest is history, shame very much so, but its fact,

Once upon a time it was legal to own humans, segregation was legal, apartheid was legal and even gassing humans was legal. Your point with that "law" comment?
