That's much less than some farang end up paying in the long run . . .

At first glance, the Thai boy looks like he’s wearing a lot of make-up and the farang looks more than remotely like Mr. Bean!

Really you must have a different circle of friends visiting or living in Thailand. By the way that 10 million is just the start!

Isn't that essentially the same as what I wrote?

Well partially. My post was meant to comment on that in 17 years of many trips to Thailand as well as 2 1/2 years living there, I don't believe I ever saw anyone dump $300,000 on a boy or anything close to that amount. Yes and that would only be the start if we are to believe the article???

Amazing how reckless people can be with their own money.

I imagine the only way this relationship will keep going is with continuing further cash gifts. This analysis may be harsh, but if there was lots of true love, the lad would insist on NOT having a large dowry.

Also, if 10 million baht was invested in a sensible stock portfolio, it migh pay enough for one short time tip a day almost indefinitely.

The lad doesn't get the dowry his parents do and yes it most likely will be them that will continue to suck funds from the farang through the lad.

If the farang can afford it WHY NOT?

Yeah I go with this. It depends how much the farang guy has. Could be a drop in the ocean to him for all we know.
