Thai police to crack down on teen sex on Valentine's Day

Thai police will deploy special teams to Bangkok's night spots on Valentine's Day in a bid to prevent teenagers from having casual sex on the lovers' festival, according to an official.

Some 70 police officers will patrol Internet cafes, shopping malls, night clubs and discos to detain teens aged under 18 after 10:00 pm, said Major Kamol Kaewsuwan, deputy Bangkok Metropolitan police commissioner. The age of consent in Thailand is 20.

"I hope that all teenagers understand that love does not always need to end up with sex," Kamol said, adding if teens were caught, police would reprimand them and call their parents.

The effort is part of a drive to prevent teenage Thais from becoming infected with HIV, after the health ministry reported last year that the disease is beginning to hit younger and younger people here.

While Thailand has long been praised for its success in curbing infection and death rates from AIDS, the disease is starting to infect new groups, including teens, as prevention programmes wane.
.

There have been more than one million people infected with HIV in Thailand since 1984. Today, nearly 600,000 Thais live with the disease.

Male-Female Sex Male-Male Sex Female-Female Sex

15/18 15/18 15/18

My information differs from Major Kamol Kaewsuwan, deputy Bangkok Metropolitan police commissioner who says that the age of consent in Thailand is 20.

Although Thailand's age of consent is usually said to be 15, the laws can be interpreted to allow prosecution for sex with someone under 18.

So who is right?????

18 is for sex workers.
and i do believe it is 15 with "parental consent".
so maybe its 20 with-out consent.

There can be consensual sex with a girl 15 or older. The law can be interpreted to mean however, that the parents must be the ones that provide the consent.

However, it is against the law for any girl to be allowed to work in a house of prostitution or placed in such a facility by her parents if she is under the age 18.

The legal age of consent is 18, according to the last that I have read.

Where did you read that, Doc?

I have always understood it was 20, as mentioned in the first post by a police major. Believe what you want, but it could get nasty, if your partner decides to 'cash you in' with the help of the parents, and report the incidence(s) to the police. (Doc, the word 'you' in this paragraph does not imply to you personally, but to all on the forum who read this.)

another report, but with-out the sex bit.

I'm only 52 but I can still remember having sex as a teen, then I got married......

Seriously, if the same bureucrats were to put some effort into the systemic corruption that blights their country then the AIDS and other social ills might be alleviated somewhat. It would seem to a casual observer that they have either lost the plot nit noi, or its a media snow job.

of course it is more easy to hit or punish a child than to give it the right education.
Heck I even think that a good punishment from time to time is necessary;
But I think that the right education will be the best way to go

By experience I can say that you get more done with rewards than with a stick behind the door. :lol:
