Im still in touch with him, he's doing great, he opened a papaya salad bar thing in Issan and it is / was doing very well it seems. I think he's currently in Bkk but that's maybe on a bit of a holiday break or whatever just, not sure - as with all Thai guys you never REALLY know whats going on with them either from their pics or what they choose to tell you ! :-)
On of my other Thai friends who lives in Europe with his (very rich) faring BF is currently in Bkk too just now on his own ( well aside from the several faring "friends" he seems to be joining for "drinks" every night ( cough cough) and is posting pics of his considerable amount of designer clothes and bags etc ( as I know was all purchased in Europe by his BF for him previously) and if you didn't know better you'd think he is in BKK buying up half the City and of course his Thai friends are now all commenting how jealous they are that he's now SO rich that he can afford so much shopping in Bkk ! ( if only they knew the truth that he's staging the pics simply to get that very reaction from them ! :-)
(Some) Thai boys CAN be SO shallow sometimes it seems :-)
