A few weeks ago I was contacted by a guy who calls himself newinbkk2010 on Gayromeo. He comes from Chiang Mai but has been in Bangkok for some time. He was down to his last 80 baht and needed money urgently. He agreed to meet in a few days and I could pay him the rest of his fee. It wasnt a great deal of money but I always fancied the guy and thought it was worth the risk. Well needless to say he didnt bother to meet and then blocked me on gayromeo. I am just posting this as a warning should he try the scam again, as I said the money was no great loss but beyond me why he bothered for such a small amount when he could have earned a lot more.

Your first clue should have been his description of his rather average cock as "XL". LOL.

He did have pictures showing face and full body so I don't think there is any doubt he is well endowed. I just know he would have got a lot more out of me as a friend rather than the pittance he scammed from me.

There is still a cock pic, but no way is it "XL" as described.

PS: never, ever respond to requests for money in advance. I thought that would have been a given...

It's not something I normally do but given what he was asking for I thought it was worth the risk as he would have got a lot more had he turned up for a date.

Hmmmm , strange - he has 8 recent positive / enthousiastic comments in his guest book and no negatives. Maybe he just didnt fancy you - which would not excuse, but could explain !

-- Possibly what our dear medical colleagues would call: 'False positives.'?
- Personally I'm always MORE than happy to receive a NEGATIVE reply from such people!

Well I might agree with that had we met or he had ever seen me or pictures of me but I just got this desperate plea for some help and taking into account that the remarks in his guest book were positive I thought I was dealing with a genuine guy. Maybe others have not parted with their money until they had received some service for which they were then prepared to pay some money for.

I lived in BKK for several months 2ys ago and had a GR account then. Got messaged buy a 22y old guy, university degree, great English and worked for a BKK law firm. We chatted when still in Europe and finally met in BKK. He said he was into mature Caucasians and had had a longer relationship before. Now he d just be into 1night stands but I was "different" and he would like to have a real relationship with me. We met several times for dinner in a Thai restaurant and later for cinema. Once a week, no sex, because he was not "ready" yet. I accepted but after one month he chose a quite expensive restaurant before cinema and this time I decided to stop and pretended to have headaches after dinner bec. I felt "used". He sent me several mails when I did not pick up the phone. "Drama nit noi". I told him about my point of view and he said I was wrong and he would have come to my room next time. When I answered and said I d agree he said he was too busy at the moment working on his thesis. Never met or heard again. He still has is account on GR (send PM for name) and is online every day. I am curious how this story possibly would have ended. He NEVER asked for any money and seemed to come from a wealthy family. Maybe somebody on this board can share similar experiences.

Personally, I think you blew it.

The kid probably WAS from a rich family. He probably always had everything he wanted and needed, and therefore the cost of a restaurant probably never crossed his mind.

You should have simply said that the place he suggested was a bit expensive for your budget and suggested another.

Sounds like you missed out on a rare opportunity to form a relationship with a well-educated, well-off Thai guy.

Actually we were at this restaurant and I would not have minded to go there or to a similar place again, but after meeting several times I felt like being a godfather who just takes out his boy for great dinners and sees a movie later....Pity, because I was about to like him "mak, mak"

I had a three month affair with someone similar. He was an attractive city boy, university educated, regular job, spoke good English, etc. The trouble was he was very self centred and always wanted me to focus on meeting his desires in bed rather than satisfying mine. I decided to end it and subsequently found someone else, an attractive country boy: uneducated, poor, casually employed, very little English, etc. But he was keen to satisfy me in every regard. He didn't ask for money, but I offered it because I could see he needed a little financial help. I doubted his motivations for a long time, but now, almost 2 years later we are still together, he works hard in his own business and is less financially reliant on me. The lesson of course is that successful relationships are a two way street requiring each party to meet the needs of the other. As a footnote, what I have discovered about the differing attitudes of the boys in these cases is almost a metaphor for the city/country social divide one observes in Thailand.

It may have been true in your case, but I've slept through all classes and I have not found any correlation between socio-economic class status and willingness to please a partner in bed.

Selfish sex partners exist equally in every group.

Around 1995-1996, I had a Thai boyfriend for 5 months here in the U.S. (MBA student) who was from a rich Chiang Mai Chinese family. He needed a lot of emotional attention. One time he borrowed some money, and made some odd comment when I asked for repayment (he did pay it back). He had his own car and apartment here.

I then had extreme stress and overwork due to a crisis in my job (an emergency requiring a lot of work) and told him that I was having big work problems and could not give him the attention he wanted, and it was okay for him to see someone else if he wanted. He immdiately met another (older) farang, and proceeded to use this guy to no end. (By this time, he got his MBA and had no further reason to get money from his parents.) They eventually moved back to Bangkok together (the farang quit everything here and sold everything) and I think the Thai guy drained the American financially.

I don't think a rich Thai can necessarily simply go to his family and get money. This Chiang Mai guy told me that if he relied on his family and moved back to Bangkok, his brother (who would be a student) would have to live with him, and he didn't want that. I could also hear him on the phone with his mother, and she would make these squealing sounds when he asked for any money to be wired.

Don't assume that these people are getting money from their families. Also, there might be conditions, and they don't want to have to explain things to their families.
