The age of consent in Thailand is 15 (with the below caveat) as specified by article 279 of the Thai Criminal Code. The current legislation applies to both men and women, although it is a common misconception that it applies only to women.
However parts of the Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act which disallow any sexual contact with prostitutes under the age of 18, are widely interpreted by some local authorities to cover sexual acts classed as "obscenity for personal gratification". This ostensibly makes the Thai unfettered age of consent 18.
A high profile example of this application of the law was a statutory rape charge filed against the lead singer of the Thai band Big *** for allegedly having had sex with a (then) 16 year old girl (the singer has since been cleared of these charges due to the results of a paternity test)

i understand this question is 8 years previous yet i'm particular in that aspect not one of the British guidelines have replaced, so your data are incorrect besides!! ingesting is eighteen to purchase and devour yet 16 once you've parental supervision, with a meal at a cafe. Smoking is eighteen to purchase, 16 to devour driving continues to be 17 and is not any longer/hasn't replaced to 18, yet they are making it that you need to't take your sensible attempt till you're 18, yet you are able to learn once you're 17 (i imagine) sex - who ever heard of an age reduce for anal sex? legal age of consent for any type of sex is 16.

65 HE he he.
Be carefull, the Thai authorities have taken serious steps to curb child prostitution. Most western countries will prosecute you under their OWN laws, if you are caught with a minor in Thailand. (I also believe Thai jails are not the nicest places to be).
