To answer the OP's question I think the reason has chiefly to do with disparities in income between westerners and impoverished hill tribes.

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.

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.

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... so more 'open' to engagement with gays you think? in other words more 'flexible'? for financial considerations? genuine enquiry not vexaciousness

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.

"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.

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.

There was another post I was going to reply to But I'm please to see the mods are doing a good job today

As the op's sole intention was to start a topic to insult the gay community it is now

CLOSED.
