Personally want to warn everyone, which taking a boy or girl under 18 Years of Age in Thailand. Some testimony (allegations) from a person under 18 years that he/she went with someone over 18 years is enough for a search warrant and a warrant of arrest under Thai law. So beware it is not necessary to caught during the act and the happened was month or years ago. A Statement in front of the police is enough. If caught, be sure that you carrying about 300.000 - 500.000 Baht Bail Money cash with you or some toothbrush with extra clothes and having enough cash for the awaiting trial. Oh, I forget your Passport is gone!

In April 1996, the Royal Thai Government of Thailand passed stringent anti-prostitution laws with the most severe penalties reserved for those involved in child prostitution. Now customers, procurers, brothel owners, those who force children into prostitution and even parents, face long prison sentences as well as large fines.
