Prostitution in: Thailand

Legal Situation: Prostitution is technically illegal, but largely tolerated. It has been culturally accepted for a long time. Prostitutes are never arrested (underage prostitutes are sent to education camps); buying sex is legal. There seems to be a recent crack down on child prostitution though: buying sex from someone under 18 is illegal; every once in a while authorities like to catch a foreign paedophile and send him to a long prison sentence. Nude or even topless dancing is also illegal but is widespread. Pimping and operating brothels is illegal.

Pornography is illegal.

The age of consent is 16. Police discourage girls between 16 and 18 from the prostitution business.
