    I agree, but see it slightly differently. In terms of a "police sting operation", there are basically two types:
    i)Police acting on information provided by NGOs and foreign police forces and being forced to act
    ii)Entrepreneurial BIB looking to extort

    As a crime, I get the impression the BIB aren't actively pursuing such issues, unless obviously very young ages are involved or they are forced into it by third parties/external factors. As to arrests, in the case of i) above, the arrest is a certainty, with little chance to buy ones way out initially (later in the process all options are on the table - even faking one's own death :-$ ). In the case of ii) there will be no arrest, unless the Farang has no money, even then it will probably be some trumped up immigration shit, rather than blow the cover on the sting :-o .

    The exception is the specialised Police units tackling this area. They may investigate particular cases, but are severely understaffed and already have their hands full with tip off's and intelligence to worry about trawling the streets for Pedos.

    Some confused issues here..

    From time to time NGOs and/or govt. agencies want a high profile hit to show they are serious about under age prostitution, or, (more likely) make the case that they need extra funding to enrich themselves (sorry, tackle it...)

    If you're the unlucky sod who gets caught in their sting you'll be thrown to the hyenas of the press and then to jail. Forget a fair trial, it won't happen, and your embassy will assume your guilt from the outset and abandon you.

    The lesson here is don't go by the letter of the law, because it won't be observed with the same rigour as in western nations, so cover your back and don't fly close to the wind; and if you inadvertently find yourself collared by the BIB, don't go all high and mighty about being innocent and knowing your rights, don't shout and protest - just bide your time and then politely tell the officer that you've done nothing, you're tired and want to go home, and without discussion, dump whatever cash you've got on you on the table - chances are you'll be shown the door - sans cash..

    Yeah, still not sure what that was about. I doubt it was a NGO or anything, and I'm assuming just an extortion attempt of some kind. No idea if it was police, mafia, or who knows, but it's not like I'm willing to find out, so doesn't really matter.

    But yeah, that wasn't normal. There was something fishy going on. Sure, once in a while a teenager will chat me up, but they're never interested in meeting. They're just bored, and killing time on their phone, so figure they'll see what the white guy is up to. Then all of a sudden a slew of them want to meet? I know I'm gorgeous and everything (joking), but I'm pretty sure that many gay teens aren't interested in some guy in his 30s.

    Oh well, who knows, who cares. For all I know, it was Kim's shitty attempt at trying to get a pay day out of me.

    Whats with all the pedo advice
    Paedophiles are people (both men and women) who are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent boys or girls. It's got to be the unluckiest cut when it comes to sexuality and they need to restrain themselves.

    There's a big gulf between puberty and the age of 18, and conflicting interpretations of Thai law, but..

    If it is under 18...or even looks like its under 18...then keep away.
    I would completely agree.

    Setting aside the legal issues - isn't that rather like asking gay people whats the matter with them when there's so much vagina out there?

    I don't agree with that some teens are looking for money /sugar dady and think that falangs have money to spend for sex....

    thanks scotty...now gays r lumped in with pedos...great!! Somehow just like scottish independence u cant seem to tell the difference when it comes to consensual acts between adults and those involving children. I will not ask " whats wrong with u" because clearly u cant answer that question.....a huge moral vacuum. If your religious karma crap is real then I guess u will be reincarnated as a child victim.
