Yes there is. Taking a person away or seducing her(him) to gratify other person’s sexual desire, though with consent of person so taken, is an offence, punishable with imprisonment from one year to 10 years and fine from two thousand to twenty thousand baht. The punishment is set so high because the offence is regarded as part of human trading.
If the person so taken or seduced is under 15 years old, the imprisonment is as high as twenty years.
Any person receiving the person so taken or seduced for the said purpose is punishable with the same imprisonment and same fine.
Any person taking another person over 15 years of age but not older than 18 years old for his/her own sexual desire or other means of sexual indecent practices, though with consent of the person, is punishable with imprisonment not more than five years and fine not more than ten thousand baht or both.
