im pretty sure EVERYTHING(including sex with 8yr old boys) is legal in Thailand

Completely incorrect. Cannabis is VERY VERY illegal in Thailand and could get you some major prison time for posession. In addition, sex with anyone under 18 by a foreigner will also earn you big time prison. This is mostly due to pressure from the US. The US has spent alot of money in Thailand destroying the poppy and cannabis plantations in the North (the famous "Golden Triangle").

These stories you are referring to come from the fact that there is human trafficing going on with girls/boys in Burma (Myanmar), smuggled through Thailand (in areas such as Mae Sai border crossing...I've been there), and then out of Thailand over to the middle east, europe, etc.

Also keep in mind that its demand from those of us in the West that makes this stuff happen.
