I love this 23yo "boy" so much that sometimes I am surprised. He has all sorts of "non-Thai" characteristics. He's Akha, not Thai, but he's not even 100 percent Akha: he's half-Chinese and half-Akha. He is the perpetual ray of sunshine in my life, almost always brimming over with good humor and boyish energy. He's going to finish high-school this year and then go on to college. He thinks that sex is very unimportant.
So you may fly off, convinced that a "relationship with a bar-boy" is impossible.
But, of course, four years down the road, he is no longer a bar-boy and I am no longer his "customer."
He's absolutely loyal, and he's also a Christian. Not exactly your "typical Thai," but then -- very few Thai are!
