Cliquez ci-dessous pour \u00e9couter notre court podcast qui en explique les points cl\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, la Tha\u00eflande a acquis une certaine notori\u00e9t\u00e9 en tant que plaque tournante majeure pour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/human-trafficking-under-thai-law\/\">trafic sexuel<\/a>. La prostitution reste ill\u00e9gale en Tha\u00eflande, mais cela pourrait bient\u00f4t changer. Ce commerce illicite a fait de nombreuses victimes, tha\u00eflandaises et \u00e9trang\u00e8res, et constitue une grave violation des droits humains. Le gouvernement tha\u00eflandais a mis en \u0153uvre diverses mesures pour lutter contre le trafic sexuel, mais le probl\u00e8me demeure tr\u00e8s r\u00e9pandu dans le pays. La prostitution y est toujours ill\u00e9gale, mais largement pratiqu\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La traite des \u00eatres humains \u00e0 des fins d&#039;exploitation sexuelle consiste \u00e0 recruter, d\u00e9placer ou retenir des personnes contre leur gr\u00e9. Cela se fait par la force, la fraude ou la pression \u00e0 des fins d&#039;exploitation sexuelle. De nombreuses victimes sont attir\u00e9es par de faux pr\u00e9textes, notamment la promesse d&#039;opportunit\u00e9s d&#039;emploi. Elles croient ainsi am\u00e9liorer leurs conditions de vie, mais se retrouvent pi\u00e9g\u00e9es dans un syst\u00e8me de traite. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/prostitution-laws-in-thailand\/\">commerce du sexe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C\u2019est pourquoi il existe des lois pour prot\u00e9ger les victimes. La prostitution est-elle ill\u00e9gale en Tha\u00eflande\u00a0? Quel est l\u2019impact sur le statut juridique des travailleuses du sexe\u00a0? La question n\u2019est pas si simple. Un acte peut \u00eatre ill\u00e9gal tout en \u00e9tant tol\u00e9r\u00e9. La l\u00e9galit\u00e9 d\u2019un acte peut varier d\u2019un pays \u00e0 l\u2019autre et \u00e9voluer avec le temps. Par exemple, le cannabis \u00e9tait ill\u00e9gal en Tha\u00eflande jusqu\u2019en 2020 et se r\u00e9pand d\u00e9sormais tr\u00e8s rapidement. Comment les lois tha\u00eflandaises sur la prostitution \u00e9voluent-elles pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 ce besoin\u00a0? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/prostitution-laws-in-thailand\/\">complexit\u00e9s du travail du sexe<\/a>\u2019 Droits professionnels ? \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La situation g\u00e9ographique de la Tha\u00eflande, ses disparit\u00e9s \u00e9conomiques et son secteur touristique attirent les r\u00e9seaux de traite des \u00eatres humains \u00e0 des fins d&#039;exploitation sexuelle. Les personnes vuln\u00e9rables, comme les femmes, les enfants et les migrants, sont souvent cibl\u00e9es par les trafiquants qui profitent de leur situation pr\u00e9caire. Voyons comment fonctionnent les lois sur la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\">\n<h2>Table des mati\u00e8res<\/h2>\n<nav>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#key-takeaways\">Points cl\u00e9s pour obtenir le meilleur rapidement<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#is-it-illegal\">Is Prostitution Illegal in Thailand?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#other-offences\">The Offences Most Guides Leave Out<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#penal-code\">Code p\u00e9nal et lois sur la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#indecent-acts\">Indecent Acts and the Age of Consent<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#who-sells-sex\">Who Sells Sex in Thailand, and Under What Pressures<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#policing-and-reform\">Policing, Reform and the Position of Sex Workers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#venue-licensing\">Venue Licensing: Where Enforcement Actually Happens<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">FAQs about Prostitution Laws in Thailand<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sources\">Sources and Further Reading<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-it-illegal\">La prostitution est-elle ill\u00e9gale en Tha\u00eflande\u00a0? Quelles sont les lois relatives \u00e0 la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande\u00a0?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oui, cela reste ill\u00e9gal, mais c'est largement tol\u00e9r\u00e9 et rarement puni entre adultes consentants. Le gouvernement actuel souhaite modifier les lois en collaboration avec les organisations internationales. Le gouvernement tha\u00eflandais a mis en \u0153uvre diverses lois et initiatives pour lutter contre le trafic sexuel. La loi de 1996 sur la pr\u00e9vention et la r\u00e9pression de la prostitution, par exemple, criminalise la prostitution et les activit\u00e9s connexes. Elle se concentre principalement sur <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/prostitution-laws-in-thailand\/\">abus et traite des \u00eatres humains \u00e0 des fins d&#039;exploitation sexuelle<\/a> of children. Section 8 punishes the buyer. Having sexual intercourse with, or committing any other act for sexual gratification on, a person over fifteen but not over eighteen inside a prostitution establishment carries one to three years and a fine of 20,000 to 60,000 baht, whether or not that person consented. Where the child is not over fifteen it is two to six years and a fine of 40,000 to 120,000 baht. Consent is no defence in either case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Aspect juridique<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>Explication<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>La prostitution est-elle l\u00e9gale ?<\/td>\n<td>Techniquement, le statut juridique du travail du sexe en Tha\u00eflande est complexe et souvent sujet \u00e0 d\u00e9bat. <strong>ill\u00e9gal<\/strong> en vertu de la loi BE 2539 (1996) sur la pr\u00e9vention et la r\u00e9pression de la prostitution.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Probl\u00e8mes courants d&#039;application de la loi<\/td>\n<td>L&#039;application de la loi est souvent incoh\u00e9rente.

Its standing criticism is that it does not separate consensual adult sex work from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/human-trafficking-under-thai-law\/\">trafficking<\/a>. One statute carries a 1,000 baht fine for soliciting and ten to twenty years for coercing someone into prostitution, and the person selling sex can be processed as an offender under section 5 or section 6 before anyone has asked whether they were coerced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Des efforts ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s pour renforcer les forces de l&#039;ordre et am\u00e9liorer la protection des victimes. Des unit\u00e9s de police sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9es luttent contre la traite des \u00eatres humains et la prostitution, un fl\u00e9au qui perdure depuis des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations. Des initiatives centr\u00e9es sur les victimes apportent soutien et assistance aux personnes rescap\u00e9es de l&#039;exploitation sexuelle. Par ailleurs, le gouvernement a mis en \u0153uvre des campagnes de sensibilisation et des programmes \u00e9ducatifs afin d&#039;informer le public sur la traite des \u00eatres humains \u00e0 des fins d&#039;exploitation sexuelle et ses cons\u00e9quences. Contrairement aux id\u00e9es re\u00e7ues, la prostitution des mineurs est relativement rare en Tha\u00eflande. Les autorit\u00e9s ont pris de nombreuses mesures pour r\u00e9duire la traite des \u00eatres humains \u00e0 des fins d&#039;exploitation sexuelle dans le pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-offences\">The Offences Most Guides Leave Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1996 Act is usually summarised as three offences: selling, buying and keeping a venue. It contains several more, and the ones left out are the ones that carry the heaviest sentences. Every figure below is read from the Thai text of the Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"procuring\">Procuring: section 9, and consent is no answer to it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Article 9<\/strong> is the provision that reaches agents, recruiters and anyone who arranges the supply of people. It punishes procuring, luring or taking away any person so that they engage in prostitution, and it says two things that matter more than the headline penalty. <strong>The person\u2019s consent is not a defence<\/strong>: the section applies &#8220;even though that person consents&#8221;. And it has <strong>extraterritorial reach<\/strong>, applying whether the acts constituting the offence were done inside or outside the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The penalty is <strong>1 to 10 years and a fine of 20,000 to 200,000 baht<\/strong>. Where the person procured is over fifteen but not over eighteen it rises to <strong>5 to 15 years and 100,000 to 300,000 baht<\/strong>, and where the person is a child not over fifteen, to <strong>10 to 20 years and 200,000 to 400,000 baht<\/strong>. Paragraph four then adds a further aggravation that is easy to trigger: where the act was done by deceit, threat, violence, undue influence or any form of coercion, <strong>the penalty is increased by one third<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Article 10<\/strong> extends this to the family. A parent or guardian of a person under eighteen who knows of a section 9 offence against the person in their charge and connives at it faces <strong>4 to 20 years and 80,000 to 400,000 baht<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"coercion\">Coercion: section 12, the heaviest penalty in the Act<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Article 12<\/strong> covers detaining or confining another person, depriving them of liberty, causing them bodily harm, or threatening violence, in order to compel them into prostitution. The penalty is <strong>10 to 20 years and 200,000 to 400,000 baht<\/strong>. If the victim suffers grievous bodily harm the penalty is <strong>emprisonnement \u00e0 vie<\/strong>; if the victim dies it is <strong>death or life imprisonment<\/strong>. A person who supports the offence is punished as the principal is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paragraph nobody quotes is the last one. Where the offender or the supporter is <strong>an administrative or police official, or an officer of a primary shelter or of a protection and occupational development centre under this Act<\/strong>, the sentence becomes <strong>15 to 20 years and 300,000 to 400,000 baht<\/strong>. The statute anticipates that the people running the protective system may be the ones exploiting it, and punishes them more heavily for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advertising\">Advertising: section 7<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Section 7<\/strong> punishes advertising or accepting advertising, and soliciting or introducing by document, printed matter or by making it public through any method, in a manner that can be seen to be a solicitation or contact for prostitution, one\u2019s own or another person\u2019s. The penalty is <strong>6 months to 2 years, or a fine of 10,000 to 40,000 baht, or both<\/strong>. The words &#8220;by any method&#8221; are what carry it onto online listings and messaging apps, which is where this conduct now happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One consequence sits outside the penal scale entirely. Under <strong>section 13<\/strong>, where the parent or guardian of someone who commits a section 5, 6 or 7 offence has connived at their prostitution, the public prosecutor may apply, at the request of the Protection and Occupational Development Committee, for <strong>the removal of that parent\u2019s or guardian\u2019s parental power<\/strong> and the appointment of a replacement guardian, with the guardianship provisions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thai-civil-code\/\">Code civil et commercial<\/a> applying to the appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"penal-code\">Code p\u00e9nal et lois sur la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Living off the earnings of prostitution is dealt with by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thai-penal-code\/section-286\/\">section 286 of the Penal Code<\/a>. The whole section was repealed and replaced by the Criminal Code Amendment Act (No. 27) B.E. 2562, Royal Gazette volume 136 part 69 Kor, 27 May 2019, in force from 28 May 2019. It now lists seven separate ways of committing the offence, and the penalty for any of them is imprisonment not exceeding twenty years and a fine not exceeding four hundred thousand baht, or imprisonment for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seven limbs are: assisting, facilitating or protecting the prostitution of another person; receiving a benefit in any form from another person\u2019s prostitution or from a person who engages in prostitution; compelling, threatening, deceiving or unjustly influencing another person, or taking another person into employment, for the purpose of prostitution; arranging prostitution between a person who engages in prostitution and a client; concealing or disguising the source of income or property obtained from prostitution; habitually living or associating with one or more people who engage in prostitution while unable to show the source of the income one lives on; and obstructing an agency responsible for preventing or controlling prostitution or for assisting or educating the people caught up in it. The final paragraph excludes anyone receiving a benefit they are entitled to by law or by moral obligation, which is what keeps a sex worker\u2019s dependent family outside the second limb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Infographie expliquant la l\u00e9gislation sur la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande, soulignant son statut ill\u00e9gal, les probl\u00e8mes li\u00e9s au trafic d&#039;\u00eatres humains et les discussions en cours sur la r\u00e9forme juridique.\" class=\"wp-image-19895\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/prostitution-laws-thailand-infographic-683x1024.png\" alt=\"Infographie expliquant la l\u00e9gislation sur la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande, soulignant son statut ill\u00e9gal, les probl\u00e8mes li\u00e9s au trafic d&#039;\u00eatres humains et les discussions en cours sur la r\u00e9forme juridique.\" class=\"wp-image-19895\" style=\"width:558px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two things about section 286 matter in practice. The fourth limb, arranging prostitution between a sex worker and a client, is what reaches an agent, a booker or a venue that puts the two in contact, and no money has to pass through that person\u2019s hands for it to bite. And the old wording that punished a person over sixteen who lived off a prostitute\u2019s earnings, together with the presumptions built around living with or habitually associating with a sex worker, has not been law since 28 May 2019. Any English summary still quoting a seven to twenty year term under section 286 is quoting a repealed provision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le Code p\u00e9nal contient une r\u00e8gle g\u00e9n\u00e9rale interdisant toute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thai-penal-code\/section-279\/\">acte ind\u00e9cent<\/a> with a child under 15 years old. This rule includes child prostitution.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thai-penal-code\/section-279\/\">Section 279 of the Penal Code<\/a> states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhoever commits an indecent act on a child not over fifteen years of age, whether or not such child consents, shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding ten years, or fined not exceeding two hundred thousand Baht, or both.\u201d Children are clearly protected related to prostitution laws in Thailand and sec trafficking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"indecent-acts\">Indecent Acts and the Age of Consent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thai-penal-code\/\">Code p\u00e9nal en Tha\u00eflande<\/a> ne d\u00e9finit pas ce qui constitue un \u201c acte ind\u00e9cent \u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 279 raises the penalty where the child is not over thirteen: imprisonment of one to ten years, or a fine of 20,000 to 200,000 baht, or both. A third paragraph of the same section raises it again, to one to fifteen years or a fine of 20,000 to 300,000 baht or both, where the act was committed by threat of any kind, by violence, while the child was in a state in which they could not resist, or by making the child mistake the offender for someone else<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 277 of the Penal Code makes sexual intercourse with a child not over fifteen who is not the offender\u2019s spouse an offence whether or not the child consents. The penalty is five to twenty years and a fine of 100,000 to 400,000 baht (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thai-penal-code\/section-277\/\">Penal Code section 277<\/a>). The provision has been gender neutral since the Criminal Code Amendment Act (No. 27) B.E. 2562, which also inserted the definition of sexual intercourse at section 1(18); English texts that still speak of a &#8220;girl&#8221; are quoting the pre-2019 wording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where the child is not over thirteen the penalty rises to seven to twenty years and a fine of 140,000 to 400,000 baht, or imprisonment for life. Two further paragraphs raise it again: ten to twenty years, or life, where the offender made the child believe he was carrying a firearm or an explosive, and life imprisonment where a weapon was carried or used, or where two or more offenders acted together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The marriage exemption no longer exists.<\/strong> Until 2019 an offender could escape punishment under section 277 where the court permitted him to marry a child over thirteen but not over fifteen. The Criminal Code Amendment Act (No. 27) B.E. 2562 repealed that paragraph outright and replaced it with something different: where the offender is himself not over eighteen and the child was over thirteen but not over fifteen and consented, the Juvenile and Family Court may order welfare protection measures under the child protection law instead of imposing punishment, and if those measures fail the court may still sentence below the statutory minimum. Marriage is not a route out of a section 277 prosecution, and since 23 January 2025 it could not be one in any event, because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thai-civil-code\/\">section 1448 of the Civil and Commercial Code<\/a> now requires both parties to have completed their eighteenth year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Thailand the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/age-of-consent-in-thailand\/\">age of consent<\/a> is fifteen. The provision is section 277, not section 279: section 277 covers sexual intercourse and section 279 covers indecent acts, and both apply whether or not the child consented. Above fifteen, consent does not close the question. Sections 282 and 283 punish procuring, luring or taking away a person of any age for an indecent purpose to gratify someone else, with the penalty stepping up where the person is over fifteen but not over eighteen and again where they are not over fifteen. Section 285 adds one third to the sentence where the victim was an ascendant, a descendant, a pupil in the offender\u2019s care, or anyone under the offender\u2019s control, guardianship or power. And commercial sex with anyone under eighteen is separately an offence under section 8 of the 1996 Act, whatever the age of consent may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il est important de savoir que l&#039;\u00e2ge du consentement est de 15 ans.

Cela nous aide \u00e0 comprendre les cons\u00e9quences pour les travailleuses et travailleurs du sexe. Nombre d&#039;entre eux choisissent cette profession ou s&#039;y adonnent par n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re. Ils travaillent souvent dans des lieux publics et des maisons closes. Les travailleuses et travailleurs du sexe en Tha\u00eflande sont confront\u00e9s \u00e0 de nombreux d\u00e9fis, d&#039;ordre social, \u00e9conomique et juridique, qui influencent leur d\u00e9pendance \u00e0 la prostitution. Ce probl\u00e8me persiste depuis de nombreuses ann\u00e9es. Une grande partie de la population s&#039;accorde \u00e0 dire que les lois sur la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande doivent \u00eatre r\u00e9form\u00e9es. La l\u00e9gislation actuelle ne correspond pas \u00e0 l&#039;opinion publique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La prostitution reste tr\u00e8s r\u00e9pandue, malgr\u00e9 la l\u00e9gislation tha\u00eflandaise en vigueur. Nombreuses sont les personnes qui choisissent le travail du sexe pour des raisons \u00e9conomiques ou par choix personnel. C&#039;est notamment le cas \u00e0 Pattaya, o\u00f9 la prostitution, ancr\u00e9e depuis des d\u00e9cennies, est une r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Les difficult\u00e9s rencontr\u00e9es par les travailleuses et travailleurs du sexe en Tha\u00eflande sont li\u00e9es \u00e0 divers facteurs sociaux, \u00e9conomiques et juridiques. Beaucoup de Tha\u00eflandais sont favorables \u00e0 une r\u00e9forme de la l\u00e9gislation sur la prostitution. Ils souhaitent que les lois refl\u00e8tent l&#039;opinion publique sur le travail du sexe, y compris les professions d&#039;escorte et de prostitu\u00e9e dans les bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les facteurs \u00e9conomiques influencent fortement la d\u00e9cision des individus de se prostituer. La pauvret\u00e9, le manque d&#039;opportunit\u00e9s d&#039;emploi et la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de subvenir aux besoins de leur famille poussent souvent des personnes vers ce commerce. La perspective d&#039;une r\u00e9mun\u00e9ration plus \u00e9lev\u00e9e que dans d&#039;autres secteurs est une des principales raisons qui poussent de nombreuses personnes \u00e0 se prostituer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La stigmatisation sociale entourant le travail du sexe commercial cr\u00e9e des probl\u00e8mes pour les personnes qui exercent dans ce secteur. Elle leur rend difficile la satisfaction des besoins sexuels de leurs clients en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Les travailleurs du sexe en Tha\u00eflande font souvent face \u00e0 l'ostracisme, \u00e0 la discrimination et \u00e0 un acc\u00e8s limit\u00e9 aux soins de sant\u00e9 et aux services sociaux. La marginalisation des travailleurs du sexe exacerbe leur vuln\u00e9rabilit\u00e9 \u00e0 l'exploitation, \u00e0 la violence et aux abus. N'oubliez pas que la religion peut fa\u00e7onner les croyances et le comportement d'un pays. Les lois sur la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande peuvent \u00eatre tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rentes de celles d'autres pays. Elles peuvent \u00e9galement changer d'une ann\u00e9e \u00e0 l'autre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"policing-and-reform\">Policing, Reform and the Position of Sex Workers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La l\u00e9gislation sur la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande pose un probl\u00e8me complexe aux travailleuses du sexe. Elles \u00e9voluent dans une zone grise juridique et sont souvent victimes de harc\u00e8lement et de corruption polici\u00e8re. Il est parfois difficile de d\u00e9terminer si une personne se prostitue par choix ou sous la contrainte. Les travailleuses du sexe ont besoin d&#039;aide et de soutien si elles sont maltrait\u00e9es ou exploit\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prostitution has been prohibited since the Prostitution Suppression Act of 1960, replaced by the present Act in 1996. The &#8220;up to 20 years&#8221; figure that circulates online is not what a sex worker faces. Selling sex by soliciting in public is a fine of up to 1,000 baht and nothing more. The long sentences in the Act attach to procuring, to running the establishment and to coercion, which is to say to the people around the sex worker rather than to the sex worker. Estimates of the number of people selling sex in Thailand range from about 100,000 to 400,000, and no official count exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Des groupes et des militants s&#039;efforcent de prot\u00e9ger les droits des travailleuses du sexe en Tha\u00eflande. Ils souhaitent mettre fin \u00e0 la stigmatisation, am\u00e9liorer leurs conditions de travail, leur fournir des soins de sant\u00e9 et garantir leur protection juridique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bien que le gouvernement s&#039;efforce de lutter contre le trafic sexuel, celui-ci demeure un probl\u00e8me majeur en Tha\u00eflande. Il est essentiel que la police collabore avec les organisations internationales pour endiguer ce fl\u00e9au. Des r\u00e9formes sont n\u00e9cessaires pour traiter les enjeux \u00e9conomiques, sociaux et juridiques li\u00e9s \u00e0 la prostitution en Tha\u00eflande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"venue-licensing\">Venue Licensing: Where Enforcement Actually Happens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost every English article on this subject stops at the 1996 Act and the Penal Code. That is not where a bar, a massage parlour or a karaoke venue actually gets into trouble. Prosecuting an individual sex worker produces a 1,000 baht fine. What closes a business is its licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An entertainment place, in Thai <em>sathan borikan<\/em>, is licensed under the Entertainment Places Act B.E. 2509 (1966), and ministerial regulations issued under it fix the categories of venue and the permitted opening hours. The most recent of those, the Ministerial Regulation Prescribing Opening and Closing Times of Entertainment Places (No. 2) B.E. 2566, signed on 21 August 2023 and published on 26 August 2023, lets venues inside the Eastern Aviation City promotion zone open twenty four hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sitting on top of that licensing regime is <strong>Head of the National Council for Peace and Order Order No. 22\/2558<\/strong>, dated 22 July 2015, Royal Gazette volume 132 special part 171 Ngor page 7, amended by Order No. 46\/2559, Royal Gazette volume 133 special part 169 Ngor page 4. It is still in force. It is not among the orders repealed by the Act Repealing Certain Announcements and Orders of the National Council for Peace and Order B.E. 2568, whose schedule reaches orders 3, 4, 5, 23, 29 and 36 of 2558 but not order 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clause 4 forbids the operator of an entertainment place, <strong>or of any premises operating in a manner similar to an entertainment place<\/strong>, from doing any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>allowing anyone under twenty years of age to use the premises;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>selling alcohol to anyone under twenty;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>opening beyond the hours the law allows;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>selling alcohol beyond the hours the law allows;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>allowing weapons, explosives or narcotics onto the premises;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>allowing an offence of human trafficking to be committed on the premises;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>allowing gambling on the premises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consequence is the part worth reading twice. Where any of those happens, the competent authority may revoke the licence, or order the premises closed and <strong>prohibit any entertainment place from operating at that address again for five years<\/strong>. A pending renewal is refused, and no new licence may be issued to that operator for five years. Where the venue stands near a school or a student dormitory the prohibition is permanent, and the liquor licence is revoked with it. Clause 4 then provides that the order <strong>is final<\/strong>, so there is no appeal against it. Reopening inside the five year ban is a separate offence under clause 6\/1, punishable by up to one year, or a fine of up to 20,000 baht, or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two things follow for anyone operating or investing in a venue. The phrase <em>premises operating in a manner similar to an entertainment place<\/em> is deliberate: not holding a licence does not put a bar outside the Order, it puts it outside the protection of one. And clause 4(1) uses twenty years of age, not eighteen and not the age of consent. A venue that admits a nineteen year old customer has committed the breach that carries the five year closure, whether or not anything sexual took place there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running in parallel, section 11 of the 1996 Act reaches the owner, supervisor or manager of a prostitution establishment personally, at three to fifteen years and a fine of 60,000 to 300,000 baht, and section 286(1) and (4) of the Penal Code reaches anyone who assists, facilitates or protects another person\u2019s prostitution or arranges it between a sex worker and a client. Those are the provisions under which the management, rather than the premises, is prosecuted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One caveat we would rather state than paper over. We have named the Entertainment Places Act B.E. 2509 only as the licensing statute it is. Its consolidated Thai text is not reachable through the Royal Gazette document endpoint, the Council of State search, Thai Wikisource or our own corpus, so we have not quoted any section number or penalty from the Act itself. Every figure above comes from Order 22\/2558 or from the two statutes named, each read in the Thai original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">FAQs about Prostitution Laws in Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-illegal\">Is prostitution illegal in Thailand?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, under the Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act B.E. 2539 (1996). What the Act actually punishes is narrower than most readers expect. Soliciting in public is a fine of up to 1,000 baht under section 5, and there is no general offence of buying sex from a consenting adult. The heavy penalties fall on procuring, on running the establishment, and on anything involving a person under eighteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-worker\">What penalty does a sex worker face?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 5, soliciting in a street or public place openly and shamefully or so as to be a nuisance to the public: a fine not exceeding 1,000 baht, with no imprisonment. Section 6, congregating in a prostitution establishment for the purposes of prostitution: up to one month, or up to 1,000 baht, or both. Section 6 paragraph two provides that there is no offence at all where the person acted under compulsion or under a power they could not avoid or resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-owner\">What penalty does a brothel owner face?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 11: three to fifteen years and a fine of 60,000 to 300,000 baht. The fine is a minimum, not a maximum, and the prison term is not an alternative to it. Where a person over fifteen but not over eighteen works there it becomes five to fifteen years and 100,000 to 300,000 baht, and where a child not over fifteen does, ten to twenty years and 200,000 to 400,000 baht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-foreigner\">Can a foreigner be prosecuted?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Nothing in the 1996 Act or in the Penal Code provisions on this page turns on nationality. A foreign customer in a raided venue is exposed under section 6, and under section 8 if the other person was under eighteen. A conviction can carry immigration consequences as well, but those are decided under the Immigration Act and not under these provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-age\">What is the age of consent, and does it settle commercial sex?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The age of consent is fifteen, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thai-penal-code\/section-277\/\">section 277 of the Penal Code<\/a>, and it does not settle commercial sex. Section 8 of the 1996 Act makes it an offence to buy sex in a prostitution establishment from anyone under eighteen: one to three years and 20,000 to 60,000 baht where the person is over fifteen, and two to six years and 40,000 to 120,000 baht where the child is not over fifteen. Separately, clause 4(1) of Order 22\/2558 bars anyone under twenty from an entertainment place at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-reform\">Has sex work been decriminalised?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. A bill to repeal the 1996 Act and regulate adult sex work was reported in March 2023. It has not been enacted. The 1996 Act remains in force exactly as set out on this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-unenforced\">Why does the law look unenforced?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because most of the enforcement that happens is administrative rather than criminal. Order 22\/2558 lets an authority revoke a venue\u2019s licence and bar any entertainment place from that address for five years, with no appeal, which is faster and heavier than prosecuting individuals under the 1996 Act.
