August 28Aug 28 I have visited Bangkok annually for the past ten years or so. Here are my observations from my July–August trip: Because it was the low season, negotiations with MBs were more realistic. I found them on Grindr and never paid more than 1,000 baht for a short-time. On a couple of occasions, they stayed overnight at my hotel rather than leaving late at night, without charging extra. Hiring the same MB for a second encounter later that day cost me 500 baht. The same seasonal pricing applied to hotels. Easy Planet Hotel on Surawong—formerly Red Planet—and Trinity Silom Hotel both charged less than $30 per night. One experience surprised me. I met a Burmese who was not MB. After learning that he had walked out of a job earlier that day, I offered him 500 baht. I then proposed hiring him for an entire month, paying him 500 baht for one hour of his time each day. As I understand it, 500 baht is roughly the minimum daily wage in Bangkok. He declined. A few days later, he texted me and conditionally agreed to occasional meetings, but that arrangement did not work for me. In a way, I am pleased that Burmese migrants are apparently doing well enough in Bangkok to turn down 500 baht for an hour’s work!

What type of profile (text and photos) do you create to attract MBs on Grindr?

He was not a MB... so you offered him money, but only a pittance, but he had to work around your schedule every day for a month to provide you with an hour of sex.....and you act as if you were being generous.....and you are surprised he refused!

I'm always concerned that if there is any mention of money, or any kind of payment, that my account will be blocked.

I am sincerely glad that Burmese workers in Bangkok are doing well enough to turn down a full day’s wages for just one hour of work.
