Twice in the last 12 months, I have been approached by Africans. Once near Sukhumvit Soi 11 and the second time in Siam Center. On both occasions, they probably noticed that I had been eyeing them, if ever so slightly.
They came up, smiled, said hello asked the usual "Where are you from" questions, as did I. And very deftly, on both occasions the guys turned the conversation to money. The first one spoke about himself needing it. They second one asked if I needed it.
On both occasions, my scam radar beeped, and whatever lust I had, was quickly banished. I guess someone better prepared than I was might have been able to carry on and further turn the conversation to money-for-sex, but I wasn't quick-witted enough so I just extricated myself.
