(doug @ Jul. 10 2009,06:49) Sorry, but the "barstool bullshit" factor is still in play here. Any wise old expat who tries to scare the newbies (or get all cynical about Thai "corruption") by telling them that "Prostitution is illegal" is being a wee bit disingenuous if they fail to mention that the penalty is ridiculously trivial.
it generally seems to be in response to discussion of some other illegal activity - the inference being not to pay too much attention to what the law actually says as prostitution is also illegal but not very strenuously prosecuted against etc etc
