Hi Gay boys!
Happy Wednesday, I hope you guys are still doing fine here and not forgetting about me.
Today topic is going to be somewhat delicate so reading discretion is strongly advised.
If you have visited or even have the plan to visit Thailand, you would already get to read a lot of topics about Thai gay scenes. There are a ton of gay scenes here all over of this land of smile. However, no matter where the scene is or how big the community seems to be, there is one relatively common group of people that always come along with these places - Money boys.
I have no idea when the word "Money boy" was used but the word itself has the ultimate meaning. Money, of course, means the money, bling bling or sometimes can be accessories and boys - yeah boys.
Money boys usually hang out with (most of the time) aged foreigners aka. Sugar Daddies, they usually spend time somewhere regardless restaurants or bars but these boys will always get sponsored by the foreigners. They would sometimes call themselves "boyfriends" and soemetimes there's nothing there in their relationship - fling. These boys always show up with a lot of expensive stuff such as clothes, jews or bags that, however, don't get along with their outfit. They could either be young Thai or Westerners but it's very common that they are Thai and they don't always have to be gay to become one. Many people say that they always end up having sex after hanging out but I don't agree with that because they can also have good conversation and time. There's no need be sex involved all the time.
Well, a lot of people said that it isn't ok to call them as friends with benefit but the most correct word to call them would be "Friends with financial benefit"
No Tea, no shade.
The true reason why we don't call them friends with benefit is very obvious. As I have mentioned above that they don't have to have sex every time but the main point of this kind of relation is "bling bling"
They say that if you work so hard, you earn hard but earning fast is better.
Having nothing to lose, when the opportunity comes and is offered, these boys see it as new way to help them achieve what they dream of easily - for their parents, accessories or education.
Personally, everybody has their own way to struggle their lives. I have my own way, you have your way and of course they have ones as well. As long as, they don't bring trouble to you, burn the gay scenes down or disturb the messed up democracy in this country, then who the F are we to judge?
Many say that, they are the bad image of Thai gay scene.
Well, look at the politicians in this country and look at those boys again. Now, smile and enjoy your drinks.
Is Open relationship called love? How about long distant relationship and online relationship? Are they love?
I think Love has nothing to do with where people stand. By being money boy, they can fall in love also. They just want their family and themselves to survive. I see so many sugar daddies and money boy finally fall in love. You can say it's weird but there are a lot of weird kinds of love already and it's no problem to have another one :)
At the end of the day, I think Money boys have their own reasons and ways of living. It seems wrong how they are in the wrong place and wrong time - of course with wrong age of people. We would not understand why they have to become what they are but I'm so sure that if they have any choice they would choose that option without hesitating.
Dark side or Prejudice, it is on your own to judge them because point of view standard is individually different and personally it's not wrong to be money boys but I'm not going to become one. Period.
I hope you enjoy your rainbow time.
Please leave me some comments about this entry and again reading discretion is highly recommended.

But why don't we call them "Friends with benefit"?
Yes why? Can anybody answer me???Well, a lot of people said that it isn't ok to call them as friends with benefit but the most correct word to call them would be "Friends with financial benefit"

What makes them money boys?
Let's alone talk about Thai money boys. Most of these boys usually come from struggle families, a lot of them actually didn't get to finish their school because their family financial background. They had come to Bangkok or those touristy places with nothing in their hands but they should come back with a lot of hopes for their families. To work in touristy places, they earn a lot comparing to their hometowns but it means the cost of living is very high also. Part of Thai culture is when you earn money, at least send part of your earnings to your parents and that's very normal. I believe they could afford to send those money to their parents but how about living in the city?They say that if you work so hard, you earn hard but earning fast is better.
Having nothing to lose, when the opportunity comes and is offered, these boys see it as new way to help them achieve what they dream of easily - for their parents, accessories or education.
Are they the ones to be blamed?
Personally, everybody has their own way to struggle their lives. I have my own way, you have your way and of course they have ones as well. As long as, they don't bring trouble to you, burn the gay scenes down or disturb the messed up democracy in this country, then who the F are we to judge?

Are they the symbol of fake love?
Actually, what is really love for gay people?Is Open relationship called love? How about long distant relationship and online relationship? Are they love?
I think Love has nothing to do with where people stand. By being money boy, they can fall in love also. They just want their family and themselves to survive. I see so many sugar daddies and money boy finally fall in love. You can say it's weird but there are a lot of weird kinds of love already and it's no problem to have another one :)

I like "friends with benefits", it's mutually beneficial for both parties. Life-long friendships and even some amazing relations have begun that way. A gay Asian version of Pretty Woman.
