In Thailand 'free' sex is the most expensive.
The term 'prostitute' bandied about here by certain people does not apply to Thais in the Hamburg, Amsterdam, Soho sense.
Thais and many Asians don't put a Christian/Muslim warped premium on sex. To them its a pleasurable, natural thing which can have a payment element (in the case of bar boys) or lifestyle element (in the case of more long-term relationships).
But for the falang, whether gay or straight, the latter situation ends up more expensive.
Bar boys/girls will expect a few 1000 baht for short/long time but the 'no money' guys/girls will expect to end up with your apartment, an extension to their family home, a pension for life for mama and papa, college fees for the brothers and sisters and so on.
I'm about to return home until Boxing Day, at least, where I'll have plenty of time to put a financial costing on the above theory....I have to admit to having been burned in both camps. I'm an expert in all this- believe me.
