"I Want Some More"

[Guest fountainhall]

There's much talk on this Board about tips and what boys expect, and so forth. We also hear about boys who will do an Oliver Twist - ask for more! I'm interested in hearing some of the more outrageous requests which posters have been hit with - even though there may have been no assignation.

 

I'll start the ball rolling. Some years ago a client got me involved in a project at The Oriental hotel. This meant visiting for a day or two every month over a 10 month period, and on these trips I was put up at the hotel (the only time I have ever been able to stay there). Having breakfast by the river was one of the joys of those trips, especially watching one of the cute waiters. We would often smile at each other and chat occasionally. He knew why I was there and that my tab was being picked up by a client. I knew he was gay, but somehow I never asked him out.

 

Once the project was over, I stayed on a few extra days in a different hotel. One evening, I bumped into him sitting with a friend in Telephone bar. He waved me over, asked how I was - and then planted a very, very long kiss right on my lips with one hand holding my head against his. What his friend thought, I have no idea. He then asked for my contact details and hoped we could get together on my next trip.

 

A couple of weeks later I got a note saying how pleased he had been to see me, but his mother had to go into hospital (yes, another hospital story) and could I please send him 35,000 Baht! I had never been alone with him, never gone further than that one kiss! I was gobsmacked - pun intended! He never saw any money and I never saw him again - anywhere.

Several years ago when I was still coming to LOS as a tourist, I met a great guy. We had a good time together on two trips. On the day I was leaving after the second trip he disappeared from my hotel room while I was in the shower. He returned a short time later. No explanation about where he went. When I was getting into the taxi he handed me a huge bouquet of flowers and a big kiss, saying see you next time. Very sweet! A month or so after I got home I received a letter from him asking for money, along with bank information, because he had "big problem". He wanted $1000.00 USD. I sent some money to the bank, not 1K. I never heard from him. I was and wasn't surprised. About 6 months later I received a letter from the bank saying the money was never picked up and asked what I wanted to do about it. I had the money sent back to me. On my next trip I was not able to find him or get any information about him. I have always feared the worst. He was such a sweet guy!

I have know one boy for many years. We almost became boyfriends but he was constantly playing games and it never worked. I helped him out a few times with his BF died. Yes, the BF died 4 times. It was the same BF. The 4th time, he wrote me and I said no. I was in Pattaya and saw him and he cried and cried and cried and asked why I didn't help him. I said that I would but I helped him with the BF's death in the past and he said, "yes, but he is really dead this time."

The boy who cried wolf.

he said, "yes, but he is really dead this time."

On a similar note, a close friend was with his b/f at an ATM. They were going to transfer some money into the account of the b/f's friend, relative, or whatever. The b/f told my friend the numbers to enter. The numbers were incorrect. The b/f became annoyed and told my friend that he was entering incorrect numbers and now, since the intended recipient won't get the money, it's my friend's fault. My friend informed the b/f that he entered precisely the numbers he said to enter. The b/f still insisted that it was my friend's fault because he was entering incorrect numbers.

 

Thai logic . . .

I did have a friend that once paid for the hospital stay of his BF's dad and then a funeral. Later, he found out the father was never sick.

 

I also had another friend who had met a "virgin" in Pattaya. He was so excited that he met a real college boy and not a hooker. It would have broken my heard to tell him that the boy had worked in the bars before and was no virgin. But, we all need to be a bit careful when we are told something by a guy that is only (0r even partly) involved with us because of our wallets. I know, I know some of you are the exceptions to the rule. I am happy for you.

 

One must remember that life is a game to many boys. I think it is one that we all must play to some extent.

 

I had a guy I knew that was arrested for drugs in Bangkok. I was living in Pattaya at that time. His mother called and asked me to help. I sent my BF to the jail to pay the money in person. Naturally, it was less than what the mother has asked for as she wanted a little help too for the time she took to call. That would have been one hell of an expensive phone call if I had just sent her the money.

 

Life in Gay Thailand is never boring. We all learn as we go along and even those of us that are experienced are often duped.

Only last night I had a boy try it with me. The night I got 'gunked' I noticed a boy there who, to me, was very attractive. Just my type. He was there with a farang friend of mine and they appeared to be boyfriends, so I let it pass.

 

A few weeks ago I was at the beach and took a walk toward Rabbit Resort. I ran into that same friend and he was with the same boy. We chatted for a while, and then my friend left, but the boy didn't leave with him. The boy told me he and my friend had just broken up and he was left high and dry with no money at all, not even money to eat.

 

My eyebrows immediately raised at that. I know my friend well enough to know there has to be much more to the story than that. The boy claimed he had absolutely no idea why his farang boyfriend had 'finished' him. That's when the word "bullshit" started entering my mind. It entered my mind even further when the boy asked me not to discuss it with the farang.

 

Of course, I did discuss it with my farang friend. His story was a little different from the boy's story. Basically, it turned out that this boy is a ya ba user who will say and do just about anything to get money for more ya ba. My friend had completely had it with this boy and the lying that goes on, and that's the real reason why he finally broke it off.

 

Last night, about 11:30pm, the boy called me. He told me he is in Khon Kaen. I knew right away that he was calling for money. I hadn't heard from him in weeks, but suddenly, 11:30 at night, there he is. I made an excuse to get off the phone quickly and told him I'll call back, which I did not do. A couple text messages came in from him, asking me to call back. I'm not going to call back and I'm going to answer the call if he tries calling me again. At the time of this post, so far he hasn't tried calling back or sending any more messages.

 

Only a few minutes before checking out the board this morning, I checked my Email first. Sure enough, there was an Email from my farang friend. He told me the same boy had called him last night and said his mother wants to borrow some money. My friend called the mother. Apparently the boy either did not know my friend had a way of contacting the mother or it simply did not occur to him that he would contact the mother. Of course, the mother knew nothing about it and had not asked to borrow anything! I think that boy will have to look elsewhere for money for his next ya ba hit. He won't get anything from my friend and he won't get anything from me.

With the price of gold going through the roof, I am reminded of my first ever visit to Pattaya way back in 1981. I met a barman in the old Cafe Royale whom I liked and who came back to the hotel with me for a few nights. At one point, he asked me for the small (very small) gold chain around my neck. On enquiring why, he said he would take the chain, sell it and start a small business We would then both make money from the profits of the business. He seemed very serious about it. I wasn't!
