If you are a farang, you are playing with fire if you ]do not get your HepB shots before you arrive in country. HepB is far easier to get then HIV and you should definitely get vaccinated for it.Quote:

I didn't say the post was off topic - only that I thought it odd that gearguy seemed to be suggesting that as a customer I should ensure a boy has been vaccinated before I off him.
If I may stick my big toe in here for a moment and then quickly take it out?
Joe, Gearguy did not say that you as a customer should take the boy to get a Hep A,B, Typhoid vaccine. The title is The Best thing You can Do For An Isaan Boy. In my opinion that just means what one person could do for the good of another person, a boy. Has no meaning of customer for a one night or week off boy. If someone wanted to do something nice for an Isaan boy.
thanks Neal for clarifying.
A thank you to the member who posted this...it recently prompted me to quizz my BF about this and turns out he has not been vaccinated, something that i'm getting sorted very shortly!

Best thing you can do for an Isaan boy?
The best thing that a farang can do for an isaan boy is to start by showing him how grateful he is that the boy has entered his existence, because it was him, and others like him, who changed his life from being mundane...unfulfilled...and lifeless...to a life where his dreams have been allowed to come alive...a gift not many receive in their lifetimes.
If you've chosen the path, and I don't mean a path with avoids emotional connections and relationships with Thai boys, but the path which led you to a life where you are either living in or totally consumed with Thailand then never lose sight of the fact that they (the boys) are the components of your dreams which guided you here to begin with, unless in fact you are one of those rare gay farang who were drawn here being consumed with the golden temples and indian charms. Never take them for granted - because there're a dozen more like you right around the corner. Turn your back on them completely and they'll disappear from your dreams as fast as they entered. They can't be held responsible for our dreams/compulsions/addictions or the fact that we came here to begin with and they owe no explanation to any of us for anything.
It's not about what the Isaan boy needs from YOU that really matters...it's about your understanding and acceptance of those needs..
Those who believe that all the Isaan boys come from worthless families who do nothing more than sit around all day drinking rot-gut whiskey have either never lived in Isaan or they are simply prejudice against people of lower social standings. The majority of farmers in Isaan spend 8-10 back-breaking hours a day in their fields - a job that not one loose-lipped farang could stand up to. They drink at night as a means of erasing the thoughts they have about having to do it again the next day - all the time knowing that life will never get an easier for them. The typical Isaan boy comes from a life that many of you think you understand - but you haven't the foggiest clue.
If you hold him accountable for every satang you place in his hands then be prepared to be disappointed. If you're not willing to accept the fact that your personal needs for fulfillment dwarf his needs and the needs of his family then your ignorance and self-centeredness will once again result in disappointment. Show him that you are ignorant or insensative to the reality of his life and the life of his family back in Isaan and you'll never win his heart - just his body - until he finds another ignorant and insensitive farang who's willing to pay more. ..thus the term "ATM" (Another Time to Move). Ironically, this is the path that so many farang end up taking, e.g., just buy them for sex, never listen to any lies about their families needing money, don't ever attempt to have a meaningful relationship with one of them because I couldn't do it so it must be impossible...and so on.
Many of you know that I was married to a boy from Isaan...he became addicted to drugs...was imprisoned...and died at age 26. During the 8 years we were together the money that he received from me went to buy a piece of farm land for his family...then a tractor...then a house large enough for his entire family to live. His mother, father, 2 of his mothers sisters, one grandfather and two young boys named Pan and Ape now work the farm and go to sleep at night in a nice home. His (my late bf's) contribution to his family was unquestionably enormous and I'm quite sure that Pan and Ape will be taking care of the place when they grow up and have families of their own.
I guess when I hear all these stories about the boys from Isaan just squandering all the money you give them without any care for the future I should consider myself fortunate. What did I give my boy from Isaan when he was alive?...My unconditional love and the acknowledgement that the needs of his family would always be a top priority.
