I don't understand why you only seem to consider meeting some kind of commercial money boy from the provinces. I though they were the sum of the scene when I first came 20 years ago and now i am working here. My partner of 5 years is an educated business man. I live in his house and drive his car. When I met hime he was generous to the extreme. He has been going through some hardships during the last year due to the economic downturns in the US economy (his business is based on US orders) and now I am helping him out. He resents the fact that he is not paying his way at the moment and he is working hard and imaginatively to remedy the situation. Please do not think that Thailand is just a land of go go boys (not that they deserve any less repect for that).
