Pattaya is full of retired old straight guys with young Thai live in girl friends, most of these retirees are north european like Germans, UK and a sprinkling of Scandanavians.
What surprises me is that lots did not have high paying executive type jobs back home, lots were teachers, railway/postal/council workers...so I would imagine that their pension would be under the euro 2000 mark....which leads me to my question of how much are they paying their love in girl friends and how would this compare to a gay situation...I cant imagine that a fit young piece of Thai arse would hang around with a flabby old wrinkled farang for anything less that BHT1000/day.....which would be a third of his income.
