Hasn't this always been their story? "No customers, no offs, no money, many bills to pay..." What would you rather hear? "Hey Mister, you're my third customer of the day. I'm all spermed out but for 2,000 Baht I'll put up with your fat arse for the next hour or so and dream of my girlfriend or the bar girl opposite while going at it?"

They are not only there to sell their bodies but also the illusion that you're their one and only John who's come to "save" them, a tactic that works well with white men who come to Asia with a modicum of guilt and a saviour mentality.

The sun may have set on the empire but the burden never ceases.

Except this wasn’t an unsolicited story of woe but my own observations over several days reinforced by chatting with a couple of the guys. Also with another 10 or so breathing down my neck waiting to be invited for drinks due to lack of customers. Boys with no offs sit clustered along the Jupiter stairs, anyone who has been to the bar is familiar with the set up. 

It is high season now so I hear Fridays and Saturdays are improving but far from Jupiter’s heyday.
