I can think of a number of boys who were offered long trips and extras etc but they refused because they had a farang BF. I would be willing to bet that a few other long time residents or visitors could come up with similar stories.
My current partner is as honest and sincere as they come, and has never shown the slightest indication of being anything but that.
He would have a lot more money if he was selling his ass on the working scene versus partnering with me, but money is apparently not the driving force behind his personal aspirations. He stayed by my side and took care of me on two occasions when I was hospitalized. Once during (and after) major eye surgery I had about 5 years ago, and again when I had leg surgery 2 years ago, where he had to cook all the meals and tend to my every need (yes, even that) during a 3 week recovery period. I wouldn't have trusted anyone more than him.
This thread "How Do You Feel When This Happens" is a good reminder for me. The last thing I have to worry about is having to wait for him to finish a drink with a customer. Hell, he doesn't even drink.
I've met many Thai boys with similar qualities. There will inevitably be some real scoundrels in the mix on the working scene, but the vast majority are decent guys.
