Knowledge based on extensive travels and a business interest in country. I am there 3 or 4 times a year................I do not know any Lao bar boys or in fact any bar boys.............

Having said what I said there are exceptions and if you want a genuine BF they are available (as they are in Thailand) Just do not think they are all nice and spiritual.   Of all the problems I have noted in Vientiane gambling seems to be the worst........and it leads to other problems

I don't anymore than I think all thai boys are nice and spiritual.  But I'd never suggest that decent Lao boys (or decent Thai boys) are the exception to the rule as you suggest.  I didn't know how many Lao boys you know but I suspected you likely didn't know enough of them to make the generalization.

Bob instead of making  incorrect presumptions about my contacts and information why dont you contribute something of your personal knowledge on this subject of Lao men......

I am not sure where you get your info from yaraboy, but your experiences in Laos are different to mine. I have found them genuine and friendly. They don't have the opportunities that the Thai boys have in working in gay off bars. There are those who go onto the internet of course looking for a sponsor. I have never dated one of those. Me and my guy met in a disco and caught each others eye. Struck up a conversation and 18 months later we are still together and now living together also. All the bfs friends (gay) are similar in the fact they would love to meet a farang and be in a serious 1 to 1 relationship as we are.

Ok time to wrap this subject up !

Yes I agree John that there are many Lao lads looking for 1 on 1 but I know half a dozen who play various games while BF is in his home country ( these are all middle class Lao) I am lucky because my BF is great and is essentially vice free (I think!)
To sum up Lao boys are not really much different from Thai......though maybe their level of expectation is less elevated. One thing I like is that my BF does not have the overly close family relationship that many Thais (particularly Isan) have. Never a problem with sick buffalo for me!

I've also run into about a dozen Lao boys working in the Bangkok, Pattaya, and Chiang Mai bars.  They come down on tourist visas, and do visa runs.  I have not detected any major differences in attitude between them and their Thai brothers (especially their Isan brothers).

homintern is on your IGNORE list.

Your boyfriend's ethnically Lao, isn't he?

Pure Fujian Chinese.  He would not be at all happy with your suggestion, either.

Absolutely...like most humans.

Brasil is a very good alternative.
In each town there are sauna with working boys like club 117 in Rio de Janeiro

Lao boys may appear sweet in nature and unspoilt compared to Thais but it is an illusion.........Gambling drug use and exploitation of multiple farang boy friends is common.

And you make this generalization from your extensive travels in Laos?  Or perhaps from your contacts with a dozen bar boys who you think were from Laos?  Just curious as your knowledge base for the claim.

You can make this generalization about  any country and people, I have  found all are  much the same  just  different in how much they cost. All of them if they are in it for money will have multiple  bf's of different ages and  who meet different needs. I think it is  true the Lao boys  look good, however, human nature is  much the same anywhere you go.

I must say the Laos people are really nice, and so are the guys, I have been there and would never recommend it on this board, I want it to be my own fairytale ;-) Lack of the country, the beaches offcource.

Yep, we're all nice aren't we, till we want something and we can't get it!!

For me three options:
Singapore free sex but everything else is expensive - and don't get caught
Laos no gay scene but plenty of it about - just don't get caught
Colombia free sex reasonable gay scene and a few pessos if you are caught solves the problem, just don't get caught by the FARK.
