Our favourite Log Cabin Republican black guy will be along momentarily (yes, we have one)
Re: black gay in Thailand
Many encounters we describe in this forum are essentially cash transactions. The good thing is that the only color matters is on the money note you plan to foolishly spend thinking more is going on

Easy enough for a Caucasian to say
Re: black gay in Thailand
You shouldn't have any problems on the commercial sex scene where, as has been said, money rules. But prejudice against blacks does exist in Thailand. I had a friend who was an ebony-black American; he lived in Pattaya for several years but eventually returned to the US completely disillusioned with Thais and Thailand. He described disrespectful treatment in restaurants and shops, staring in the streets, that kind of thing. Some might have the personality to brush off such incidents but they ground my friend down in the end.

Agreed. The notion of "money opens all legs" might apply in Pattaya but as we know it caters to the lowest common denominator. In Bangkok it's well-known there are gogo bars where the boys choose to work because the customers are mostly Asian and others where they choose to work because the customers mostly aren't Asian. I've had boys who respond to a request for a threesome with "Threesome, yes; with another Asian boy, no". The racism of some Thais is boundless; some will refuse to go with Indians for example or with Saudis. I certainly have encountered some who would refuse a black man if asked. That's why I suggested we wait for a pronouncement from bucknaway who is, AFAIK, our only black member
Re: black gay in Thailand
There have been a few black mbs available on Planet Romeo in the last couple of years....one of whom a friend speaks very highly . He certainly looked cute. A francophone with decent English. I've seen black guys in both Babylon and Sansuk.
As far as the Thai guys themselves are concerned, frequent is undoubtedly correct. From a political perspective, people who are deemed to be on the lowest rung socially and economically can sometimes compensate by expressing superiority over a group considered even lower....though this attitude is trumped by the relative wealth of any tourist.
I can't recall the context (a James Baldwin novel perhaps?) but there's comment made by a poor white guy in a US trailer park along the lines of "If we haven't got n...... to look down on, who have we got?"

A similar quote from the movie Mississipi Burning " if you ain't better than a [Deleted text] who you better than".

Re: black gay in Thailand
We should not be using this language. Even quoting movies. No black person needs to come here and read those words.
