Nalong, you are absolutely correct.
I've mentioned before about my Thai friend Khun S..... who published a Thai Gay magazine for many years (now defunct).
Khun S...... speaks excellent English, and he's told me many many such stories, some bar boys meet clients (both farang and Thai) who take them through an emotional nightmare, including threats of suicide, and more?
Where did he get these stories? When his magazine was in print he regularly visited all the bars (all areas of Bangkok, go-go bars / host bars etc. He and his partner were always looking for photo models, and often got into long conversations with the working boys. They often took groups of 10 or so boys to upcountry locations for photo shoots, thus lots more long converstaions.
In fact when his magazine was in print he often printed some of these stories (with names changed), but most times they were printed in Thai language only.
I can share one story of a farang who lived in Bangkok for many years (now deceased) who was a severe alcoholic. He very often took go-go boys home from bars in Supan Kwai and Patpong. The routine was the same almost every night:
- Farang offs a boy
- Boy has to bundle the quite big man into a taxi because he's so drunk he can barely stand up
- Taxi driver asks for address, boy doesn't know, taxi driver gets angry, farang gets angry, eventually farang stumbles through the address enough times and they eventually arrive at the location
- Boy has to go through the farangs pockets to find some money, boy gets accused of being a thief
- Boy bundles the very drunk man inside, farang collapses on the floor or wherever
- Farang vomits and boy has to clean up the vomit
- Farang sleeps until mid next morning, most times boy stays there to try to be helpful
- Farang eventually wakes up and says 'who are you, what do you want'?
- Boy explains that farang offed him last night
- Farang tells the boy to get out
- Boy asks for tip
- Farang refuses to pay tip ' why should I pay you anything, you didn't give me any sex'.
