One reason I dont have a Thai live-in boyfriend is I have no intention of being milked dry by these guys. I see some guys 2 or 3 times, but as soon as the subject turns to sick buffalo, moms diagnosed with cancer or dad in gaol and have to bail him out to plant the rice harvest, they're gone.

It may seem calous, but there are hundreds , nay thousands of guys out there who can provide me with sexual services for fair payment for services rendered, without selling my soul or mortgaging the farm.

Once you understand that a farang b/friend is a meal ticket for the whole family, you are far better prepared to avoid being sucked dry. Read any of the 4 novels by John Burdett in the Bangkok Tattoo series, and you will understand it even more. Their over-riding obligation is to family, and no farang will ever usurp that obligation, he merely facilitates it.
