Since I am American, I might as well Moralize!
Well, maybe not.
This just in, from my long-term Thai friend: "friendly" gambling on football/soccer has left many boys penniless and desperate all over Thailand. This week, when he goes to postjung, there are lots of messages seeking sex and saying "I need money to 'play' football."
The translation: I need money NOW, and full discounts apply! How about mutual 69 for 500 baht? (My Thai friend actually got an enthusiastic "Yes" from a teenager for this proposition!)
The horrible vice of gambling leads straight on to the horrible vice of (shudder when you say this) male prostitution.
NGOs, go to sleep with YOUR boyfriends.
