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. not common, but not unheard off either. I think over years I reported at least 4 cases of bar boys who asked me to take them for short trip and all they asked was to pay expenses on the road and their bar fees. One was even so desperate to to have a break that even offered to pay his off fees to his bar. One Bangkok boy visiting his parents in Cambodia upon learning I'm in Siem Reap also asked to visit me there and all he wanted is to pay for his bus fare. I still paid them my usual overnight tip but with exception of one , it was clear, judging by reaction, that they did not expect that. I still would ask your boy " can I give you some money ? " as chances are he could be counting on you being bit more generous that just covering expenses but , yes he could be with you because he liked you and wanted some break. jamiebee 1 Quote
Popular Post floridarob Posted Thursday at 08:08 PM Popular Post Posted Thursday at 08:08 PM Some money boys play the long game, I see this in Bali A LOT (used to see it in Thailand years ago). In the end they get more than if they were getting a daily fee, the feeling of being "loved" plays with hearts and wallets... and in the end, they end up with gifts, trips, great restaurants and in the end, doing less work (sex). Or maybe he likes you.... let us know how it ends or if later requests for money show up. mauRICE, mima_bk, jamiebee and 2 others 5 Quote

mima_bk Posted yesterday at 01:24 PM Author Posted yesterday at 01:24 PM 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. Quote
mima_bk Posted yesterday at 01:34 PM Author Posted yesterday at 01:34 PM I would have preferred if he had told me the first time to be honest. Because he would have been BF material. Quote

Londoner Posted yesterday at 01:52 PM Posted yesterday at 01:52 PM A Pattaya guy once said "too much" when I gave him his cash. Did I give him more than the going-rate? No. Or perhaps my performance was so earth-shatteringly good that he thought I deserved a free ride. No....that doesn't sound like me either. Most likely he was showing Buddhist compassion for an old guy who was obviously past his best. . bkkmfj2648, Ruthrieston, vinapu and 1 other 4 Quote

Keep in mind he could be looking for ways of getting off money boy route by seriously hooking up with somebody for good. Even if not, remember my father saying ' prostitutions is work like any other and at least is not dusty" . Dishonest would be if he told you he is not a money boy and still ask you for money at end of session. But other way around ? looks like he was feeling charitable toward you because he liked your company. khaolakguy, FunFifties, jamiebee and 1 other 4 Quote
ChristianPFC Posted yesterday at 05:01 PM Posted yesterday at 05:01 PM Did you meet him in Pattaya or Bangkok? (Bangkok as per sub-forum?) Does he have a regular job? Obviously not, else he couldn't spend days in a row with you. There are guys who ask for money as a side hustle, they might go with people they like for free, and ask others for money. But they would have a regular job. The fact that he can go for days with you without asking for money is a good start. He must have saving and be in control of his money. Many boys I know, money boys or fun for free with me, are always short of money and just couldn't afford (even if you pay for travel and food, they would have rent or other things to pay). It happens, but is rare. This year I had one case in Pattaya where a boy came to my room and from his profile I would assume he is money boy, but afterwards he was dressed and out quicker than I could reach for my wallet. mima_bk, FunFifties, vinapu and 1 other 4 Quote

jimmie50 Posted yesterday at 07:20 PM Posted yesterday at 07:20 PM You will recall from my October/November trip report that I met a young man via Grinder who was employed full time at one of the large Thai banks who wanted to be boyfriends, but also wanted a monthly contribution from me of $1000 USD! It started out innocently enough without any request for money, but eventually that did come up. I do not know if he could be called a 'money boy', but hindsight makes me think it is at least a side hustle. On the other hand, I met a really nice therapist at one of the massage shops who has continued to maintain contact with me and we have made plans to spend time together when I return to Bangkok in February. Not once has he mentioned money or asked for a single thing. It would appear he simply enjoys my company. Ruthrieston, mima_bk, jamiebee and 1 other 4 Quote

Don’t think it is a “side hustle” but rather he is looking for sugar daddy to subsidize his lifestyle. Working in a bank, he must have appearances to keep up in front of his peers: stylish clothing, haircut, dinners out and going to clubs or bars. Maybe he wants cash for domestic tourism or branded items. The question is how many boyfriends aka sugar daddies does he actually have floridarob, jamiebee and vinapu 3 Quote

Not what I was looking for. Ended up having to block him on my return to Denver. Have to give him an 'A' for effort, as he certainly was a persistent little devil. Quote
