This vdo clip has been posted before on several sites and blogs in recent years along with comments that the amounts the boys can earn seem way too high. One says he can sometimes get "7, 8 or 10 customers per night." Given that Christianpfc has informed us business does not usually get going till after 9:00pm and the going rate is Bt. 500, either this guy starts in the afternoon and ends his shift just before dawn or has a clutch of wealthy regular clients - or more likely he is just boasting. Similarly the claims of the two who say they can make Bt. 50,000 - 60,000 per month thus averaging 3 or 4 clients every night seem spurious.

I would say average of 1000bht/day would be credible for a service orientated MB. Still puts him solidly among the Thai middle class.

Sadly for you Latin there isn't a middle class anywhere in the world that accepts known prostitutes as acknowledged members - an inconvenient truth, I know

No one who has been to Pattaya or met bar-boys can believe that they earn 1000 bht a day. The bars pay them 2000pm and, even if they are popular and it's the high season, three customers a week is pretty good going. For many, one a week is nearer the reality and for some much less than that. There is a strong community "feel" amongst them; a lot of support is offered to those who are struggling. Those who had had an "off" will often buy the dinner for the four or so friends who haven't. To make good money (that is 10,000pm- Big C workers get about 7000pm as a comparison) they'd usually need the continuous support that comes from a LTR. I have met exceptions but the really popular ones tend to become boyfriends of falangs.

Of course, to know what's going on, falangs have to talk with and listen to these guys, perhaps even meeting them at home- quite an eye-opener for newbies, I can tell you. it is highly convenient to claim that they are successful entrepreneurs; it frees the customer from his responsibilities to treat them fairly.

Back when this fim was made it's quite possible that the earnings the boys were quoting were correct. But , like in all businesses, the economic conditions have taken their toll. But, evan today, a hot boy who knows how to hussle can earn 3,000 baht/day (90,000 baht/month).

I have a good friend who is a very popular massage boy with a steady stream of customers who earns between 60,000 and 90,000/month, even in low season. It's not only the number of customers a working boy gets on an average day that determines his income - it's the quality of his service, and knowing how to make customers want to tip more that really tips the scale.

Also, don't forget to include the residuals. I had a Thai boyfriend once who was receiving steady income from 3 different farangs totalling about 55,00 baht/month when we first met, and they weren't even in Thailand, let alone in his bed.

I totaly agree with you about Pattaya. But the video is about Bangkok and the freelancer-boys at Saranrom park. And by own observations I can say that it is a busy area, so two off┬┤s per night (=1000 baht) is much possible. Almost all customers in that area are thai.

I imagine that he also gets phone calls and text messages to meet regulars.

The average might not be 1000 a day, but I think the most successful boys earn well in excess of that during peak season.
On the one hand you have those who struggle to get offed, yet there are others who see more than one customer per day in high season.
I've seen some go off short time, reappear in the bar as little as 45 minutes later and get invited to sit with their next customer in no time.

Low season might be a different matter, but if it's that slow, well it's time to find another occupation for a few months.

Again based on what I pay and as its well known by now I very rarely pay over 1000bht/session I'm quite sure that a smiling pleasant eager to please service orientated MB will reel in customers. But if he spends his day staring at his phone, not engaging with potential customers, is too precious, lies about what he is prepared to do sexually...then its a disaster.
Anyway its probably a good thing that the vast majority are too stupid/lazy to make good money..enables me to snap them up for a bargain...the little games I play with them is only possible becasue they are too lazy to leave and have to go find another customer.
...and...Do u really think that american wait staff are always so bright eyed and happy...no..its a show to ensure that you tip over the required %.....something a small minority of Thai MB have also learnt to do.

I've been to several boys' homes. It's usually a tiny hole of a room... often it's a small townhouse shared with a sister, her husband, and their baby. ....or 4 boys share one tiny room. I've bought and installed air conditioning units, TVs, and paid for new furniture, bedding etc. for a few boys, a few times.

One of these boys was my bf for almost a year. He was the most popular boy at A-Bomb when I met him. He would get off'd sometimes 2 or even 3 times in a day.... but not every day. He went 45 days without a day that he *didn't* get off'd. One month in high season ---- ONE MONTH --- he made 60,000 baht in a month. He never made that much again after that. Then low season came. It's hard to make anything in low season.

So many points: (1) They always remember "that one month" when they made 60,000 and that's all they talk about.... "60,000"......even when yet in reality they're lucky to make 20,000 now.... and that's only if they're still the most popular boy in town! (2) There's no way even the most popular boys at Saranrom are making half that much. (3) Regardless of how they spend their money ---- on a nice room, or supporting their entire extended family back home, or on iPhones and whiskey bars... They make much more than the average Thai ( if they're any good at all ), and that does put them into the middle class economically, for sure. ( We're talking about income level, not "being accepted" by anyone. ) They can afford all the trappings of the "in" status symbols, absolutely. (4) The phenomenon of being supported by one or more overseas farang does happen.... but it's far more rare than the "big fish stories" would lead you to believe.... and it doesn't usually last for more than a few months at most. (5) Remember that their actual *work* is strenuous physical work... but the actual work part usually lasts only minutes.... almost always finished in under an hour. That's their *real* workday... maybe an average of 38 minutes. That's not construction work, or restaurant work, or factory work. It's easy money. On top of that, they make quite a bit more in those 38 minutes than the construction worker does in his 10 or 12 hour work day. By comparison to all the other jobs in Thailand, it's easy money. That's for sure. And they know it. ( This is also equally true everywhere else in the world.... compared to other available jobs in the local economy. ) (6) If they happen to be gay, and can bring themselves to "get into it".... and get turned on themselves.... then it's all that much easier.... They get hard. They have sex. They cum. Their work day is done. Now they're a hero supporting their entire family and farm back home *and* they have a new iPhone 6plus, an iPad, an Apple Watch, a MacBook Air, and new Versace jeans for nights out at DJ Station. I want that job! What work could be easier!? They also probably own more high tech gear than most of their customers do!

I'm assuming when they say 60,000, they're implying they have a couple farang BFs overseas who send them money. If you're say 23, good looking, and know how to hustle, you've probably been working the scene for 4+ years, so probably managed to go through multiple BFs and have a couple on the line now. I know there was one ladyboy in Sunne who was juggling 4 BFs at the same time, and they sent her a total of 100,000/month.

I don't think most make very good money, but hey, it beats working hard on the farm for absolute bare sustinence. They might still be poor, but hey, they get to be lazy, hang out with their friends all day, party and drink for free on a farangs tab, etc. How many times have you picked up a boy, decided to take him out for a night, only to have 4 of friends come along? I know I've done that more once. heh.

I know a farang who liked three boys working in Sunee Pl. The farang sent them
money all the time, for rent, for food for mama. The boys were friends and lived together.
After many months away, this farang returned and the boys disappeared.
They were with another farang sponsor, with deeper pockets. He was crushed but
learnt a lesson. He actually believed the 3 eighteen y.o. boys felt the same way as
he did. The farang was warned but in deep denial until forced to face the truth.

Thanks to the OP for posting this interesting clip.
Good luck to all the boys who can make good money "on the game". Better than receiving 300 baht for 12 hours per day picking rice.
As long as no under age involved and consenting adults where is the harm: and everyone gets what they want.
My own take is that a percentage of the successful boys can easily generate per month the amounts mentioned in the video; and of course as others have observed the smart boys either have farangs sending them money and/ or the boys know how to use internet dating to get more business.

The harm is that sexual services in Thailand paid for in cash or kind is prostitution and thus is against EXISTING thai law irrespective of the age of either party.

For this reason the buying of gifts for sexual services rendered can be more damning that the exchange of cash .

Caveat Emptor.

LAW...!?!?...just because its a law doesn't make it right...unjust laws should be broken..others skirted where appropriate.
