Huh? you suggesting that many Hilltribes are gay? maybe that's the case but just asking - BTW I have not particularly noticed 'lot's of gays' in CM . TONS of Toms yes... but gays? hmmm - maybe I just don't notice them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Well I'm certainly not a bummer... or old for that matter. It's a nice place. Gays who can afford it flock to the pleasant, amusing places in the world. I would live there but I can't stand the air pollution. Mincing about? That's some kind of slur, eh? What do the straight guys do with their young birds then, you've got a word for that? Does this mean you have come out of the closet? Don't think ole Jing was ever in one.

I have lost a couple of workers over the years to that "scene", neither were gay or drug addicts. Both engaged in gay behaviour for money and subsequently became drug addicts. One is in jail now for drugs. Othhers more familiar with that scene may correct me, but that is what I have observed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuibeachcomber Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 "mincing" in gay terms,what does this mean? Sorry but i think this topic is a"no brainer".Am sure if you go to bangkok,pattaya,Samui,Phuket there are just as many gays together as anywhere else.Probably in Isaan towns and villages too.

Paagai Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 To answer the OP's question I think the reason has chiefly to do with disparities in income between westerners and impoverished hill tribes.SNIP No, I'm not suggesting that hill tribes or Shan or Burmese are proportionately more gay than any other ethnic group. They are considerably poorer though. Yes, that has been my observation. I have lost a couple of workers over the years to that "scene", neither were gay or drug addicts. Both engaged in gay behaviour for money and subsequently became drug addicts. One is in jail now for drugs. Othhers more familiar with that scene may correct me, but that is what I have observed. As someone who is familiar with "that scene" I don't think you understand the issues at all. Your original point regarding "impoverished hilltribes" is simply wrong. You then seem to suggest this group of people turn to drugs after "gay behavior" I can assure you that is really putting the chicken before the egg! Also, the OP talked about old farang gays "mincing about with young Thai blokes". In my experience, most of the Thai comapnions referred to here would certainly not be hilltribe or Shan people. More likely smarter Thai guys waiting to cliam their inheritance In Shan culture gay is NOT accepted; the numbers of openly gay Shan guys are far less percentage wise than for Thais. It's very unlikely you'll see a Shan guy mincing around anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
