arrived today, so glad i booked the direct flight from western europe.

Answer to question 3 would be just use the dating apps and the moneyboys will come to you. Thaifriendly, Grinder, Hornet, Romeo, Heesay. It is not like ordering from a Website but comes pretty close.

Of course use condoms, i never suggested not using them. PrEP adds an additional safety layer. For the "free" part: I am of course writing from a western perspective, and in most western countries (also in Australia) PrEP is subsidised or free via health insurance.

Best advice is to get it via your doctor at home, and doing all the tests regularly (every 3 months). This way it is also free (or at a very small cost). The tests are important because If you should be HIV positive you need a different medication PrEP can damage your kidneys,bones or liver; especially if they are already under stress (@olddaddy!) You should check for other STDs Of course if you shop around some pharmacies (not the big ones; the mom-and-pop stores) you might be able to get it in Thailand without prescription. It's called Teno-EM. But i would not recommend that.

idk why we can't use the thai way to react to negativity here. jai yen - cool heart. just say nothing...

i will be there the whole month of march but i doubt i would want to meet haha

Same, i was rooting for orange too.

Thai PBS in english: https://www.thaipbs.or.th/election69/result/en/geo/area/1032?region=all&view=area and also live feed in english on youtube:

Friends of mine were at Wolfgang's Steakhouse recently and they said it's very good. Expensive of course.

I will be there basically the whole month of march. Most of the time will be an (illegal) workation, but I am looking forward to it. It is also a test if i could/want to live there long term. And to see how he reacts to it. One problem i have is that thai people simply can't or won't express feelings easily. They do so in actions or small gestures, but having them say something is like pulling teeth, so you avoid that.

I think Thais have no problem with seeing older farang with a much younger Thai man. They may or may not notice, but i feel they just don't give a fuck. I am little over fifty and my - idk, situationship - is 24, looking 18. If you respect Thai culture and keep showing affection in public to a minimum no Thai will bat an eye. After all he could just be my son. Sometimes you get strange looks from tourists, but i came to the conclusion long ago to not give a single fuck what strangers say or think about me. It rather makes me smile because it feels like a confidence boost.

Ok, I returned from BKK today. I don't really know what to write, but to thank you all especially @Travelingguy, @jimmie50, @mauRICE and @khaolakguy for your input. I really didn't discuss the moneyboy situation because it was "I know that you know, and you know that I know" situation. But the whole ten days with him were so sweet. and y I don't really care if he is or not. he still seems to be very much into me. I think your opinions have changed my view on this. Thank you. I will be back to Bangkok soon to see him again. And I am at peace with this.

I am contemplating exactly these questions for three weeks now. What I know is that I don't want to let go (yet).

Thank you all so much. Maybe I am just overthinking. As @floridarob suggested I will take it one day at a time. And see how it goes.

Or just wait if he asks for money at some point? I would not mind giving some, that is not the point.

I will be soon back in BKK but I am at a loss how to proceed. Continue this boyfriend phantasy or mention that I know? And how to do that without hurting his feelings or him loosing face....

Made an alternate profile on the app which he promptly liked. Then i asked some direct questions.

idk, this guy is still texting me daily. but this is still not honest, i think. what do you guys think.

so @floridarob was right XD

I would have preferred if he had told me the first time to be honest. Because he would have been BF material.

thanks again, contacted him via "other means": - not on PrEP - condom only - no kiss/suck (what he did already XD) - short time 1500 - long time 3000 Will check him out anyway haha.

thanks for all the answers. in fact i already booked a flight in early january. but this was before i found out. so i think i will see how this plays out.

basically via his social media

So i met someone via a dating app and spent a few days with him. He ist very sweet and seems to be into me. I found out that he is working as a moneyboy, but he never asked for money... is this common? I paid for food and grabs but that was all.
