In Thailand, child prostitution is legal. In Saudi Arabia, slavery is legal.

just because something is happening on a fairly large scale and seems to be more ore less ignored by the government does not mean that it is legal. Thailand as of 1996 has a 'Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act' that outlaws the hiring of prostitutes under the age of 18 and the King of Saudi Arabia by abolished slavery back in 1962...
