[quote=Gaijin;667007]My motto is never lend more money than you can afford to lose.
"As an aside, this does not only apply to Thai boys,..."
Absolutley. I think it's an asian thing... I'm still waiting for $2,000 I lent to a Korean boy who had a genuine emergency and no one to turn to ... promised faithfully to repay, even emailed me from Korea asking for account details to EFT "next month"... never arrived.
Small loans to Thai boys also not repaid.. I usually ask once, and typically get look of surprise that a farang did not realise "loan" is synonomous with "gift" in their eyes.. and you would never ask for a gift to be returned , would you??
