How dire is the situation on the ground in Pattaya among Thai boys/men?

[sglad]

And yet you still keep coming back for more! If I was you I would wonder why you only meet the guys that you make this damning judgment of? So many visitors seem to have better experiences. Are you just a bad judge of character, picking the wrong type of guys, or is it something in your interaction with them that leads to this behaviour.

Well said, Brad. ChristianPFC, a moderator on this board (boy they sure know how fo pick 'em), has often said similar harsh things about Thai guys and Thai people in general, not just those working in the sex industry. And he has bummed around in Thailand for years and claims to speak Thai! When you're having so many negative experiences when others are having the opposite, then you need to reflect and find the common denominator in these negative encounters and, if you're honest with yourself, you'll find that more often than not it's you.
