but one should also be careful not to apply western ideas of 'straight' to thais. a culture that does not demonize homosexuality to the same degree as the bible-based west, means that in growing up, many youngsters do not have to suppress the bisexual sides of themselves, so many of them (not all) remain open to stimulation from other men.
there are also many cases of bar workers who have developed long-term relationships with male customers, when their first preference is for female partners. one may be tempted to dismiss that as merely money-based, but a closer look indicates that there is more to it than that.
