Child Prostitution



Under current Thai law an offender will face 4 - 20 years imprisonment for sex with a minor (under 15 years old), or a fine of 200 - 400 000 baht. If the child is under 13 years the sentence can be life imprisonment. In addition, many Western countries have instigated extra-territorial legislation, whereby citizens can be charged at home for child prostitution offences committed abroad.
