Let me try to say this in a vacuum with some people -not on this board- in mind.

If you live on your parents money as a grown man, you are far from being a credible financial advisor.

How we spend our money is usually linked to how we earn it.

Easy come, easy go. Bravo to those who did something meaningful with their income.

Just in case; I am by no means implying that sucking Farang dick is easy.

I'm going to say this Christian. Living off of your parents money and living the life of an efete 19th century poet means you're simply not qualified to offer financial advice to anybody and certainly not a South East Asian sex worker.

Sometimes I think this is the way that all Thai boys view farang.

To them, we're all rich and spoiled with pampered lifestyles to begin with. And the fact that we give them so much money (in their terms) for receiving so little in a return (a one hour roll in the hay) makes us a bit naïve and gullible in their eyes as well.

In their eyes, they're not the ones who need financial advice - WE are.

Welcome to Christianpfc's School of Financial Wizardry.

Syllabus.
Day 1. Get yourself well off parents.
Day 2. Graduation ceremony.

Having graduated from CSFW you can now use your newly acquired skills to negotiate cheap sex with many boys in a variety of countries. Higher level graduates of CSFW are often able to negotiate even lower rates in return for financial advice.

Please note that well off parents are not included in the price of the course and CSFW cannot act as a third party in securing such.

I also don't think our friends in Thailand understand that for many of us, sex in their country is an absolute bargain - at home I'm paying around 5 times what I pay in Pattaya. Mind you, nobody has ever asked me about how much I pay in Australia. So I'm happy to spend a little extra by taking them out to nice restaurants of their choice and buying them some clothes. Nothing over the top but just an extra way of thanking them. And I still come out on top.

Dodger's observation regarding how the boys see us as being wealthy and spoilt is spot on, IMHO. As for being seen as "naive" or "gullible", I'm not so sure. Maybe they see us as being generous because they know we can well afford to be. In which case I'm surprised they don't charge us more!

Shhh...

You're missing my point.

They know exactly what our money buys us back in our homelands...no argument there. But the fact that we can spend 1000 baht on a meal without batting an eye makes us appear wealthy to them, as compared to their standards.

The average working boy see's farang as being wealthy...spoiled (having everything that they want)...and being terrible at managing money, solely based on what they see farang spending on sex (and other obsessions). They appreciate it, don't get me wrong, but according to what I've heard from the working boys who I've befriended over the years, this is how the average farang is viewed.

The irony here, is that they're absolutely right.
