I don't agree with much of your post above, Thaiworthy. It doesn't matter whether it's a 7-Eleven or anywhere else. It doesn't have to be one close to home or one you would be likely to return to if things go wrong. I don't go to convenience stores with the intent of trying to find a boy. Other than maybe the bars, I really don't go anywhere with the intent of trying to find a boy. If it happens, it happens. I'm fortunate enough to have more than I can handle on my "A-List" as it is. It wasn't all that long ago that I would have murdered my mother to have
that problem . . .
Also, regarding the story about your friend who took a boy home, I would never do that. If I was interested in him, I'd give him my phone number, but would never immediately take him home. I'd also make sure to find out if he's a money boy and what he expects
before I'd ever take him home. Sure, no matter what you do there is always the possibility of encountering someone who turns out to be some kind of nut, but that is so rare it wouldn't stop me from meeting boys. After all, there is also the possibility of being hit by a car, but that doesn't stop me from crossing a street.
I don't know whether people post about embarrassing tales, but I've certainly seen some. Maybe there aren't very many embarrassing tales for people to post about. What would be the embarrassing part anyway? An encounter either works out or it doesn't.
I gather from your post you decided against trying anything with that motorbike taxi driver.

There is a big difference between giving money to a bar boy or Gay Romeo boy as opposed to a boy you met somewhere by random chance. You forget one little thing - a bar boy is expecting money. A boy you meet elsewhere has no idea in advance whether money will be offered or not.
What's the problem about giving, or at least offering, money to any of these boys? Most boys I meet are working class boys and I know they don't have much money. I don't have to offer them money. I don't feel obligated if nothing about money was said or hinted at in advance. I offer money because I want to. I think it's the right thing to do. But I don't offer it until the boy is ready to leave -
after his 'visit' to my humble abode.
I also said that sometimes, despite the offer, the boy refuses to take any money.
When you say "it can't be that many", how do you know? Until you've been here and have been meeting boys yourself, you have no way of knowing.
I'm not sure what you are trying to theorize. Are you trying to say the only, or at least most common reason why younger boys are willing to go with older farang is due to money? That probably
is the most common reason, but it doesn't mean that reason isn't also combined with other reasons. It's those other reasons that have me puzzled. But I'm not going to actively try to figure out what those reasons might be. I don't care what they might be. Knowing the reasons won't change anything. I'm just very happy that whatever those other reasons might be, they exist. As I said, that's good enough for me.
