It is amazing how these discussions evolve and change topic.
This discussion of foreign labor in Thailand has become a discussion of foreign sugar daddies in Thailand.
These shifts in topics are fine.....

Re: Foreign Labor in Thailand, including at Go-Go Bars
When it comes to bar boys, finding a sugar daddy is their job. That's what most are in the bars trying to do. Did you think they came to Thailand because they enjoy trying to seduce and/or love dancing almost naked in front of ageing strangers?
Re: Foreign Labor in Thailand, including at Go-Go Bars
Valid point. There is a relation between foreign go-go boys working in Thai bars and foreign sugar daddies!
Re: Foreign Labor in Thailand, including at Go-Go Bars
Surely a "Sugar Daddy" is a longer term arrangement that lasts weeks, months or years ?
The bar boys mostly do shorter term offs.
How many of them are looking for longer term relationships is debatable & possibly influenced by the relative financial merits of each arrangement.

That's right. The goal is money. Most of the bar boys would like nothing better than to manage to turn a short time off into long term money. That's why they work in the bars. With limited education and limited opportunities, finding a sugar daddy is their best chance.
I'm not saying these relationships can't become mutually sincere. Sometimes they do, but for the bar boys it usually starts out with money as the goal. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
