Title IX would generally be the pertinent section I believe. It really isn't very complicated or confusing. I mean, they speak directly to the issue of protecting prostitutes from exploitation, undue coersion, etc but say zero about her or him committing a crime just by being a prostitute in the first place. Or the customer commiting a crime by paying for the services of one.

Posts: 4Are there any resorts / hotels similar to Black Beards in the Dominican Republic?
I'm kind of just looking for a one stop shop that covers everything in Thailand. I stumbled upon a few websites claiming to have resorts like this with little information else where.

However, we would be to blame if the girl was too young to consent or, even if over the age of consent, she could convince a cop and judge she "felt" unduly coerced to the point of being afraid to say no. Ah, that does get a bit tricky though. After all, a girl could tell a cop anything if she wanted to cause trouble for you, right?
On the other hand, I honestly do not believe any punter in Thailand needs to play hide-and-seek with the cops when they walk up to any hooker on the street, in a shop, in a bar or at a shopping mall rendezvous with a freelancer they've met online in order to avoid being busted for merely exchanging money for sex with a consenting adult.

Most of us long time mongers have likely done girls under age accidentally especially at MPs, and ST hotels from a bar, merely because we did not suspect and think to check. However if Hotel desk checks her ID, could be a problem. I know I did a girl probably under age by accident who was a mother already, and only found out later. I certainly was aware off girls in bars non Thai or not quite the right age, but this has been largely stamped out by police raids.
Solo Hotel in Soi 2 once denied my girl who was age 19, as a room visitor (to stay the night). Yet I was able to check her in as a permanent guest and had booked a room for 2. How does that make any sense? Naturally I would not stay at such stupid Hotels.
My personal view is if a girl has a baby already and needs money to support her family, I don't see why she should not be allowed to work, her choice. Some girls and their children are under great hardship, without the government trying make things extra hard for them, and putting them into all sorts of categories.
The reality of Police Raids in bars and MPs, can be that the Police want to extract cash fines (bribes) from some of the hookers. However underage girls might be taken away to the Police Stations.

Same with the joke walk down Walking Street where the cops proudly announce there is "no evidence" of prostitution going on. I think the only busts they would or could make (according to Thai law) is on grounds that the bars ares established not for entertainment, the fine art of the dance, and drinking, but in order to live off the proceeds of girls exchanging sex for money.
If there is a consenting adult man or woman in Thailand who has been busted solely for one of them handing the other money for sex or asking to have sex for money without any of those other co-factors involved I have not read or heard of it.
Sure, the cops could bust anyone effectively for "prostitution" by claiming one of those co-factors was involved even if it wasn't.

The reason most of us here haven't seen the specific section of Thailand Penal Code you're alluding to is that we never read one single word out of that book. It proves nothing. Unless you're a Thai lawyer, your opinion on Thai law isn't worth much. In addition, specific laws on the books matter less than what the authorities are cracking down on today.

However, I have seen laws cited penalizing people for forcing someone to have sex for money, for coercing them unduly to do so, to engage in the exchange with someone under the age of 18 or in some other way unable to give their consent, for living off of THEIR income from working as a prostitute (as in a pimp or perhaps even setting up a bar or shop specifically intended to take a cut of the prostitutes' income) or for becoming a public nuisance while selling their services, as in gathering in large numbers, shouting out or waving down customers in an area not suitable for such behavior.
Whenever I have heard or read of busts "for prostitution" in Thailand it is invariably directly associated with one or more of those factors.
But an adult discretely consenting to have sex with other adults in exchange for money? I have yet to see that specific law on the books. Nor have I heard or read of arrests for either the service provider or the customers for it. Maybe I just missed it.

Banks generally charge for sending money out, just the fees vary. Receiving banks also have fees but you can either elect to pay them from your account or not. If you don't then the fee just comes off what has been sent, so you wouldn't notice it.

So prostitution is illegal. Anyone get busted for it before. What they haul you off to jail and you pay a fine? Just trying to manage the risk if it happens.

Found this place called "Seoul Barber Shop" while getting some dry cleaning done. It's near Asoke Station a little off Sukhumvit on Soi 15.700 Baht got me a hair wash, foot scrub, back massage, manicure and pedicure, face massage, face mask and a straight razor shave. The shave was not as good as Tew's in Siam but I was not disappointed as it was super close to my hotel. The ladies are cute but there is no happy business here, which was just fine by me.

Your home bank should not be charging you money to transfer money, especially if your account has sufficient funds to handle withdrawals of $10-12 k per month.
