Life in Thailand - Test Results

.......oh what nonsense, no society accepts the fact that anyone especially foreigners can visit their country and use their youth like disposable paper plates.../QUOTE][

You may be overlooking something: Not all foreigners use their youth like disposable paper plates. Only those who lack moral fiber.

The Thais know this all too well, and as a result treat decent jai dee foreigners who display good karma with an equal amount of respect and compassion. Conversely, those who treat them like disposable paper plates get cast aside after they're done USING THEM which is perfectly understandable.

What goes around comes around.

dodger you need to get a grip on reality...lots of foreigners...i would say in the hundreds if not thousands every day enjoy the temporary company of local males before moving onto the next...i know i do when Im there...usually at least 2 a day...I'd say the number of foreigners residing in Thailand with stable local male companions is far outnumbered by the number of tourists who rent by the hour...and as for good karma..what nonsense..if if you are a salt of the earth type person who treats everyone around you kindly the moment the cash dries up you will be expelled from your rental home and the so called loyal love of your life will move onto greener pastured.....dont be fooled by all the face saving smiles the locals give you....and i reiterate what i know and that is the Thai upper classes regard the poor/peasants as nothing more than poorly paid labour that needs to be kept in their place...and that is why they dont care that anyone can fly in and use their youth like disposable single use paper plates

..and yes dodger i have travelled quite a bit and had the opportunity to visit dozens of towns and cities and nowhere is the open availability of male companions as open and commercial as in Thailand...there are hooker bars in countries where there is lots of free lancer talent available but its not as blatant or as open...

A fascinating discussion, hope it continues and does not get so heated that it degrades into a battle of personal insults.

In comparison, a similar poverty based class structure exist in Philippines, Laos, cambodia, Colombia, (and Brazil, dominican republic....& others) without the open gay prostitution business structure. is this a legacy of american Korea/vietnam era R&R bases? I have not seen this open (although illegal) gay prostitution system as thailand elsewhere....

In PH subic bay and Angeles City have the remains of their (hetero) prostitution businesses, but not a gay one. Colombian has a legal very active visible hetero prostitution system,..... the gay one is there but submerged, not visible.

the other countries I have no experience in. (well I was in the DR long ago).

Pretty much, plus simply tourism and religion as well. Places like Laos and Cambodia are landlocked, hence lower tourism overall, whereas Thailand has beautiful beaches and islands all over.

Philippines has a thriving sex worker scene, but is also a Catholic country hence government and society at large are less accepting of sex workers. Whereas Thailand is Buddhist hence overall more tolerant of, well.. everything, because that's just part of being Buddhist.

Then like you said, Pattaya was the R&R place for US soldiers during Vietnam. Thailand simply got addicted to all that foreign money and both, government and society at large were all too happy to alter their views and acceptance of sex workers / tourism in exchange for keeping that cash flowing, houses bing built, etc.

.......dodger you need to get a grip on reality.

No thank you. Accepting it is challenge enough.

....... if you are a salt of the earth type person who treats everyone around you kindly the moment the cash dries up you will be expelled from your rental home and the so called loyal love of your life will move onto greener pastures.

No argument there. See it all the time.

I've watched some pretty generous and jai dee farang get dragged threw the mud by their "Thai Love"...drained of every dollar they had in their account...and then left discarded (like you previously suggested) like a used paper plate. I've also watched some pretty nasty farang treating the working boys like nothing more than discardable sex objects too. I guess that door swings both ways.

Thais aren't perfect people by a long stretch and when you're submersed in the active sex scene interacting with nothing but working boys the odds of connecting with someone disingenuous are pretty high. I think I heard someone once refer to this as "reality".

I've always believed that answers to these complex dilemmas in life are always somewhere in the "Center". On one side you have farang punters who throw their pocketbooks at the working boys...shower them with expensive gifts...never say no to a request for more money...and take the bait hook-line-and sinker. The term "Walking ATM" was invented for guys like this. Then, on the other end of the spectrum, you have punters who continually abuse the working boys...emotionally, and sometimes physically as well.

I've always felt it best to just treat them the same way I want to be treated...try to use some common sense when it comes to judging their character...draw my line-in-the-sand when it comes to charitable contributions...and take it from there. The middle road. Not an easy touch - and not Darth Vader either.
