Yes, they do. They appreciate it a great deal. I have been very lucky in some ways and unlucky in others. I have had 2 boys that are great to me for many years. I feel blessed. They know I'll always do what I can for them as long as I can. But, I am not very demanding and I am very unconventional. You must understand that I had had over 50 boys live with me in Thailand. Failing with all but 2 is not good odds. LOL But, once I found the ones I wanted, I have treated them with respect and in turn, they do the same for me. Over the course of time, both have tried school, different businesses, etc. One has a thriving business in his community that has done well for years. The other has a thriving family who sucks him dry.

I love the boys in both places! I think they are sexy and hot. There are also pros and cons to each area. In Brazil, I love the saunas. I love being able to pick out someone in person. In Thailand, I love the gogo bars and massage parlors. I love being able to see the boys before I take them home. What I have found in every place I visit is that more and more boys are going online and staying there as opposed to working in the saunas or bars. Have others found this? If so, have you missed the seeing part or are you just as happy with meeting someone online? I guess what I have found more than anything is that the boys I meet online never meet my expectation. They are often more feminine that I would like or sweeter than I prefer. But, the ones I meet in person, I feel they are more what I want in a sex partner for one hour.

I do not understand all the drama at Daddy's. I am not a member there and do not frequent the site or party or hang out with anyone there. I truly don't understand how all this can happen on a message board unless everyone knows each other personally and then that adds an additional layer to the story. That said, tell your clients to post their reviews here. No one here will take them down based on drama on a forum!

Just my opinion, but if you are being stalked, you need to report this to the authorities and document every incident. The best way to do this is by filing a police report every time this happens. You need to protect yourself!

For me, being a big spender, depends on how good they are to me!

Come on Vinapu, isn't it when those men walking around in Sunee Plaza match their white socks to their sandals?

But, doesn't think replicate life in general? Aren't gay men a bit more sophisticated than heteros?

I made the BF a rotisserie chicken last night. He loved it!

I am one who sends monthly money to 2 boys. I have done so for over 10 years. I have it deposited weekly into their accounts. I feel this gives them options in life and it gives them the ability to make choices. As long as those choices are good, I am OK with sending money to them. It is irrelevant to me and it does not hinder my ability to have a good life. I know it has helped both of them have a great life. And, on every visit, I tell them that I'll try to keep giving but no one knows the future so save money and don't spend it all. Prepare for a life without me. I do not feel bad at all for sending money to them. I also don't place restrictions on with what or who to do or not to do. I ask for no drugs in their life. The rest is not important to me. Both have girlfriends and that is OK with me. I feel that if I give them enough to survive and live well for Thai standards, then they can work for the rest. I think most farangs that I talk to send between 20-30k baht per month. Some may spend less. Some may spend more. My first Thai boyfriend was able to take 2k baht per day from my ATM. LOL Needless to say, that did not work well and he spent himself into the biggest parties Pattaya had ever seen. It also taught me to not be as generous in the future.

I would love to see all drugs legalized across the globe. Prison populations would decrease and fun times would increase.

This is an interesting statement to me. I agree with you. But, I am not sure talents is the right word. So much of hiring has to do with what a particular client is interested in. I had one friend in Thailand years back that I loved going to boy bars with as he and I NEVER picked the same boys. Some of you would hate my tattoo alpha males. Some would love them. I like that the "talents" the boys have is often so varied and it all depends on one customer. I knew one guy in LOS that would ask the boys if they had a Thai boyfriend and when they said yes, he moved on and did not tip them. I know others that are totally OK with that. But, every question the boys answer they answer knowing it may cost them a date or rent for that month. It is not an easy job!

I had a friend who owned a very nice gay male escort agency in NYC. Rates for guys were 300 USD per hour 15 years ago. I also had female friends who worked for the female agencies and they made up to 5,000 USD per hour. Yes, there is a big discrepancy. Even in NYC there were superstars who always made money. One guy had a paid trip to Dubai for 6 months making over 2k per day for one hour of work. Again, that was not the norm. The norm was most had a few calls a week and were able to live a decent life and go to school or pursue acting or modeling. I am in agreement with Firecat on his arguments. He doesn't always say things in the nicest of ways. But, he is right in the discussion in this thread. At least from what I have witnessed with moneyboys in Thailand, USA, Brazil, Spain, Cuba, The Netherlands, Prague, and Canada.

Thanks. I removed the link. Waiting to find out if the place is still open as they are advertising.

The boys and I have been to this place many times in the last 2 weeks. It has everything we need to get an apartment ready. Today, we were at Homepro. It is a massive one and had everything we needed for some fix me up things and we bought a few more items for comfort. All in all, it was great and Homepro delivers tomorrow before 10AM. They said 4 days and I said no thanks and then they said how is tomorrow morning and I said yes. LOL The movie theater in this place is also great! It is worth the trip for me when I need something to take a taxi out there and find everything I want. Lunch at Ikea for meatballs!

You convinced me! I got one today at Homepro. It was originally 14,900 baht but on sale for 11,000. It is a Delonghi. I am excited to use it.

I stayed there once MANY years back. The Internet sucked (but typical of most hotels in Thailand back then). The bed was not comfortable and it was a bit noisy for me. But, I did like the location.

Yummy! Thanks. I am going to look for one of these this weekend!

Leave it to Australia to produce a gay themed TV show with hot swimmers. I just watched the first episode. Others say there is not much plot and the writing is not great. But, I loved every moment of it!

Yes, would love to hear more!

Guys, I have to tell you that this site has amazing posters with a plethora of knowledge that is helpful not only to those new to traveling to gay Thailand but also to those of us that are veterans. Thank you all!

Fantastic! Thank you.

My apartment did not have an oven. So, I am considering getting a counter-top one. Anyone use this before? Any recommendations? I don't use the oven a great deal but want to from time to time. Esp. I make this great Cinnamon Bun in a Iron Skillet that is heavenly. Needs about 400 degrees F.

I will really miss Hero. It was the one place I went consistently every trip to Bangkok. Rarely did a week go by where I wasn't there at least once or twice. Now that it is gone, I know there are other places that everyone likes. Which place would you say has the most boys available each day? Which place has the best rooms with showers inside? Which place has the hottest twinks? Which place has the hottest muscle guys? Which place has the best massage?
