This study examines the rape laws of Thailand and other nations by comparing seminaries, differences, and their advantages and disadvantages. The research also aims to identify outcomes that may contribute to the development of Thai rape law. This survey was conducted through document analysis and in-depth interviews. Documentary research was conducted by analyzing the rape laws of Thailand and other nations, including the United States and the United Kingdom. The in-depth interview was conducted with 50 critical informants with at least three years of work experience in the justice system. Documentary investigation revealed that Thailand's rape law was comparable to the United Kingdom's. The in-depth interview revealed that they all concurred that Thailand's rape law was similar to that of the United Kingdom and that the development of rape law entailed amending provisions to include definitional issues and child sexual abuse.
