Why do you think I live in Thailand for Free?
[QUOTE]Its great that you can live in Thailand,[/QUOTE]Maybe I don't live in Thailand. Maybe I stay under 180 days a year chasing my shadow just like you? Do you know where I live? Have you ever actually met me or seen me in Thailand?
[QUOTE]not remit any money from your home country into Thailand.[/QUOTE]Well I have a gik and she is so enamored with my [B]Big Black Dick[/B] that she dropped her Thai man and is giving all of her money to me now that she gets from her new Korean Sponsor to me. Allover predicted that would happen. So did Nee-haw. [B]Holla[/B]!

So far they have always alluded to those tangential issues though
[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2970890]-snip-
When the media reports that "prostitutes" have been arrested, they don't mention that the actual charges are "loitering" or some other charge, not prostitution.[/QUOTE]Yes. However, somewhere in virtually every news report posted to purportedly "prove" the act of prostitution between consenting adults is a crime and illegal in Thailand, the police will be quoted alluding to any number of tangential issues or qualifiers that nobody refutes is specifically cited in The Thai Penal Code or The Prostitution Prevention and Supression Act as a crime punishable by a fine and / or prison time.
"Loitering", "showed signs of prostitution", "advertised for illicit services", "visa violations", etc etc etc.
And through it all there is not one mention of either a prostitute or a customer being arrested specifically For Prostitution.
Yet, the "trust us, prostitution is a crime / illegal" side will read those very tangential issue and qualifier words, see that the critical words are nowhere to be found and still swear the report "proves" that prostitution is a crime / illegal in Thailand. Wow.
Hell, we even had one posted news report describing the prostitutes being rounded up to collect their identification information in case they DID commit a crime sometime in the future and it was still taken as "proof" that they were arrested for the "crime" of prostitution. LOL.
Still, the media is clearly complicit in furthering the misconception by their frequent and totally unsubstantiated assertion that, "Technically, prostitution is illegal in Thailand but blah blah blah. "
Well, no it isn't. Not according to any enforcable Thai law Title or Section I have seen. Nor as applied to any arrest of anyone, prostitute or customer, in Thailand over the past decade plus. Either that word "tecnicially" is fed to them by a nearby cop or the media is just too lazy to look into it and merely repeats what previous media reports said or maybe that word has been contractually agreed to and required by the authorities whose mission is to give the world the false impression that prostitution is a crime / illegal in Thailand.
But the reason all those tangential issues and qualifiers show up in the reports is precisely because "technically" there is no specific law against consenting adults exchanging sex for money in Thailand without one or more of those tangential issues or qualifiers present.
Repeat the lies as much as you would like. This is the thread for it.

[QUOTE=Allover;2970310]That even includes Oakie. For regular readers of the Thai forums that don't know, Oakie lives in the DR and had enough of Stub's bullying and bragging. Oakie came to this section, jizzed on Stub's face and returned to the DR forums where he lives.[/QUOTE]There is an idiot troll posting from the [U]Dominican Republic[/U] whose last seven posts are in Thailand. Focused on me in an unhealthy obsession. People asking questions about the Dominican Republic and he lives there. Anyone else wonder why he has nothing to say about the country he lives in? Please review his posting history as he suggests. I post facts. He posts his opinion and fiction.
Show I made the right choice to leave. He lives there and finds it uninteresting. Continue to enjoy your Dominican Common Law Wife who is / was a prostitute. Glad you found what were looking for in the Open Air Brothel known as Sosua. LOL!

Some have an interest in making punters think it is illegal when it is not.
[QUOTE=PhilipMarlow;2971010]You cared enough to white knight Rocko20. It was between me and him. Some others here care. I care. The law interests me. If you can't provide anything more than- I'm in the legal profession so I know and you don't- then maybe you should drop it. Because you haven't provided anything to contribute to an answer as to whether it's legal or not. BTW, I bet that impresses the ladies. I should try it because I was in the legal profession myself.[/QUOTE]If someone had friends who owned bars where ladydrinks and barfines are sold or had a personal interest in them as well, I could see them wanting to promote the idea that making an arrangement for Sex In Exchange For Money outside of that system, the basic act of it, was illegal even when it is not. They would do so in the hope that punters would conclude that making the arrangement less openly and publicly exposed to observation in the bar was less risky than on the street right outside of the bar or online where no ladydrinks or barfines are required or expected.
I could also see those type of venues' owners and management making the call to the police to investigate this or that serious crime of "showing signs of prostitution", "loitering" "creating a public nuisance" etc on the street and when immigrants with likely visa issues are interloping on the market whether behind closed doors of a venue or not.
The local police would certainly fit the profile of those kind of interested parties. As well as many others.
However, that still doesn't make the basic act of consenting adults exchanging sex for money illegal or a crime in Thailand. No matter how much those various interested parties would like for us to think so.
And that is but one factor for why a discussion of it on the specific Bangkok Reports, Pattaya Reports or just about anywhere in the Thai Play-For-Pay-related forums is perfectly appropriate and valuable.
Moving it to the "Stupid Shit and Rants" forum only serves the mission of those aforementioned interested parties. Which is why I predicted it was destined to be moved sooner or later, but certainly as soon as it looked like the "trust us, it's illegal, a crime" side hit a brick wall on producing any evidence for their side.
Is the basic act of consenting adults exchanging sex for money illegal and a crime in Thailand? I am open to the possibility there there is an enforceable sentence or phrase somewhere in some Code or Act that makes it so. But I haven't seen or found it yet. Nor have I read about or observed a law enforcement / police action that irrefutably targeted precisely that act of consenting adults exchanging money for sex without one or more of the usual tangential issues or qualifiers present.
Until then, there is no other conclusion but to go with the classic legal principle of "qui tacet consentire videtur", he who is silent seems to consent.
That being the case, by what is and is not clearly stated in the law and evidenced by adjudication in the courts, Thailand has given its consent via silence on the issue for consenting adults to exchange sex for money without fear of arrest and conviction of a crime.
