I feel for you. If this is a big deal for you, then you may want to consider the so-called sponsorship: you give him a monthly stipend enough for him to live and send some home on the condition that he cannot provide sexual services to somebody else. FYI, boys in Pattaya usually expect around 20k-25k baht per month for such a deal. I'm not sure about the Bangkok situation, probably a bit higher, around 30k-40k. Of course, this entails certain degree of trust that the boy would keep his end of the bargain. Unfortunately, also in my limited experiences, that is, more often or not, NOT the case. Regarding recent real-life examples, I know a boy in Pattaya, who is right now juggling 4 different sponsors from 4 different countries. He told me himself that he gets around 25k from each one (so 100k in total). Starts his day at 2pm, making a video call to boyfriend number 1. 3pm, another call to boyfriend number 2, and so on. And when no sponsors, some of whom still think he's a 7-11 boy, are in town, he frequents boy bars in Jomtien complex, looking for potential catches. Another boy in Pattaya, who has 2 sponsors, one American and one German, who were in town at the same time and both came to his birthday party. So what he did? As the boss actually owns 2 bars located a few meters away from each other, he sat each of them in one of the bars (I actually sat talking to his German sponsor that night). After the German left, the boy moved the American from the other bar to this so that the gentleman can pay for all the whiskey bottles he opened that evening. This funny incident is like an open secret, meaning everyone else in the two bars know about it, except those two "boyfriends". For my own case, I'm also sponsoring J., a Laos boy, giving him around 40K per month. He can sit drinking with other customers but no sex involved. I do trust him on this. Of course, I cannot be 100% sure but give him the benefit of the doubt anyway. After being with each other for more than two years, I still have no reasons to doubt him even though I know a lot of boys in his circle, some of whom are jealous and ready to feed me any dirt they can dig. So it boils down to: do you think you can trust Cam on this? I wouldn't enter this kind of deal if I don't trust the person. In that case, an open deal (you turn a blind eye to whatever he's up to when you are not around) would work better when you are far far away. For me, J. is the only one I trust so far. I could've sponsored several before him but I did not trust any of them so there were no deals.      

Do you know the price?

Well, it <could> be brilliant if they last  But, for the money I paid, I think it was worth the gamble. So, far-- I am impressed.  I dont have a name of the shop (they dont give you a written receipt for replicas-- and its all cash)... but this place is a luggage shop on the main floor that is on the same level as the entrance to the BTS National Stadium station.  It is a husband and wife that run the shop and it is one of the few 100% luggage shops in the mall (the others have some luggage, and other merchandise). Sorry, I didnt get the name of the shop or the shop owners. But, the trick is to go in and browse at any of these shops, and then suggest that you are looking for replicas, and ask if they have any suggestions on how you could get these. (Replicas are not displayed or marketed on the floor-- you need to ask, and they will bring you back to where they have them).

I don’t know if this is at all helpful but Nut, the Moonlight model is an actual muay thai instructor which his day job 

This is quite simply a brilliant idea that never occured to me. I’ve always admired Rimowa’s sleek design without wanting to pay the associated price tag, all the more since I’ve heard from friends that the newer lines of Rimowa are just as easily damaged as cheaper brands. Do you by any chance remember which shop this was?
