It's not always a scam. Sometimes it is genuine. That's when you have to decide whether you feel that you are under any obligation. Many years ago, when I first came to live in Thailand, I had a Thai language teacher. I asked her how to handle such situations if you don't want to send money. She said think about what he would do if he had never met you.

One thing I've learned over the years - if you do help out a boy by sending money to him just once, the pleas for money keep coming.

My favorite quote came from Richard Burk, who used to own the now long gone Amor restaurant in Boyztown. I've posted it many times and this seems like a good place to post it again:

"If you want love in Thailand, rent it."
