Hornet, Grindr, Jackd, etc etc

I largely agree with Bruce. Maybe you should put that text in Thai in your profile. It's not just Farang-Thai dating, a lot of profiles in Thai language have "no pic no chat".

In Pattaya it's easy to assume almost all of them are money boys. In Bangkok and other places, the odds are very different and a lot of time can be spent chatting to people who have no intention of meeting you. The money question needs to be approached with much more care.

So why not add something in Thai saying "Looking for money boys. No pic no chat" ?
As it seems quite difficult to paste the text from these apps into a translator, any visitors from your home country might give up before they get a translation, which should be a good thing. .

Not a bad idea!

Anyone know how to say, "I'm looking for money boys. No pic no chat."

.....in Thai?

I always assume that someone using Thai script on their profile either wants or is offering chats in Thai

True. That's a problem. They'll start chatting with you in Thai.

Sentencing Delayed For Mike Dozer, Adult Film Star Found Guilty Of Sex With Teen He Met On JackтАЩD / Queerty

Check ID !!

If he looks young, ask him his age clearly in text chat and save the log. If he says he's under 18, don't agree to meet him under any circumstances. Block him and Report his account. If he says he's over 18, you can meet him.... but check his ID *before* doing anything else !!

This poor guy is headed to prison for 25 years..... and his boyfriend committed suicide over it....

There was actually a story just a day or two ago of 4 guys in Michigan getting arrested for having sex with a 15 year old they had each met on Grindr. http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/m ... /72730200/

And this story from over the summer http://gaysaltlake.com/news/2015/06/09/ ... yton-utah/

And there are countless other stories

True. That's a problem. They'll start chatting with you in Thai.

No-one's ever accused you of being the brightest bulb in the Sawatdee chandelier have they Bruce?

If only Grindr checked the boys' ID the way gogo bars in Thailand do... and hotels in Thailand do. Ironically, it's easier to *avoid* accidental underage sex in Thailand than in the USA.

Omg. That story from Michigan is so disgusting. The unsuspecting kids involved were like 20 years old..... and the "victim" probably --- surely --- lied and said he was 18. He probably looked 18 too. That's so very wrong. The "perpetrators" are the real victims..... of screwed up laws. They need a better way. When there's an apparent age difference of 2 freaking years.... nobody should be going to prison for consensual sex.

What horny 20 year old boy is going to be astute enough to check ID while he's hooking up for sex....?

If only Grindr checked the boys' ID the way gogo bars in Thailand do...

You mean at face value, not caring whether it's the boy's card or their friend's, just that they've got one? :ymdevil:

I was chatting with a Thai boy I know from a Gogo bar and also from Gay Romeo. He speaks
English very well and is gay.
He told me many old farang write to him on GR and want free sex. Some will try to
offer him 300b. He said they are time wasters and can go on and on for days trying
to pay nothing or a pittance. He said many farangs on GR only wanted free or cheap
price sex. One farang offered only free English lessons in exchange for sex..

[latintopxxx]

...ha..even i didnt think of that...english lessons for sex....what a cheek
