Khmer boys leaving Thailand for good?

[DaddyOh]

I was in Toolbox Bar in Phnom Penh over the weekend. Normally there are nine staffers in the bar but was surprised to see over 20 boys there on Saturday and Sunday night. I talked to a few of the new faces and they said they've returned from Thailand because of all the turmoil between the two countries. Also was told that the Khmer boys can now only get a seven-day visa for Thailand which doesn't make it economically viable for the boys. They figured most Khmer boys will leave Thailand soon and doubted if they would be returning any time soon, if at all.

How are the bars in Bangkok and Pattaya doing? Is the void being filled by Thai, Laos or Burmese boys?

Very interesting post 

Could lead to higher prices in Pattaya if that's the case , more buyers than boys !😳😳

I just returned from Thailand and yes, it looks that because of 7 day visa a lot of Khmer guys left and  now they are pondering their options.

Since recent spat between two countries seems to be sourced in internal politics rather than real border dispute serving only as  haze and smoke , chances are situation will return to normal in few months.

A lot doesn't mean all , as quite a few are still soldering on.

I visited  all Bangkok bars bar Hot Male  as well as Best Bar, Dreamboys and XBoys in Pattaya and everywhere situation was the same   - numbers of boys on the stage was higher than number of patrons in the bar at the time so I wouldn't worry about price inflation.
