| Status | Equal |
| Start Date | Jan 1, 1957 |

| Description | In 1997, the Penal Code Amendment Act set the age of consent in Thailand at 15, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. From 1957, when homosexual sex was decriminalized, until 1997, documentation on age of consent laws is limited, but it does not suggest that the age of consent was applied unequally based on gender or sexuality. |
