That is kind of funny, but it does raise the question of how you came across it.
Isn't it sad enough that you are posting that sort of ad on Craigslist Bugs Bunny, but you have to cross-post here to boost the possibility of a response is very sad indeed.Originally Posted by Beach Bunny

To you someone down on their luck is a loser?Originally Posted by Beach Bunny
BB I really do feel sorry for you.
Your story is probably sadder then his is.
Bad luck is something that can happen to any of us. And in that situation, I think the craigslist poster, assuming that he investigated all his options, has explored a sensible short-term remedy - and a brave one at that given that he is risking exploitation and (here, of all places!) ridicule.
I think he is to be applauded - and even employed by anyone could use his services - rather than to be mocked. Shame on some of you!
"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
Bad luck or not, if the guy is that hard up for 5k baht, I would be asking for baht to just get the plane ticket home. Sometimes you have to know when to throw in the towel. Everyone has their fair share of hard times, I think we can all agree to that, but not everyone has someone they can fall back or rely on. People like us, still have to make things work on our own.
If this guy is that hard up for 5k baht, then I don't see him making any recourse of getting in any better shape the next month. Good luck to him and all, but I think he needs to start facing reality, and that he might need to start packing his bags.
Maybe instead of praying to the craig's list fairy to save him, he can move out of Bangkok to a small town and rent a room for less ten 5k, and work on getting back on his feet himself.
Here's a place for 2k

I agree with you, but it wouldn't be the first or the last time when someone has let their visa lapse thinking things would sort themselves out only to find it doesn't, and with no money to pay immigration things can look pretty glum to say the least.Originally Posted by Mr.DreamTransport
It might just be a scam but whatever, bad luck can hit anyone, some harder than others and that's when you really find out if you have any real friends!
Whoever it is I wish him goodluck and hope he has the good sense to leave if he can.........

Why does the Craigslist guy feel the need to identify himself as
"I AM GWM 49Y OLD GAY BOTTOM"
instead of just "I am a 49 YO GWM"?
unless, of course, the implication is that being a bottom is somehow relevant to the "services" he is offering in exchange for the 5,000 baht.... which of course raises the question (he should be asking himself, perhaps), why would anyone pay 5K for a 49YO white ass when 20YO cute Thai asses are available for about one fifth the price (or for free, at saunas)...?
For this reason, Bunny's characterization of this guy as a loser is not entirely unfair...
