@cell@pl.ebin.zone @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me The stereotype is that there are lots of poor people that can easily be exploited (for sex), so Europeans who go to Thailand are often viewed very badly. In France we had a gay politician called Frédéric Mitterrand (nephew of president François Mitterrand) who wrote in his autobiography that he went to Bangkok to pay for sex with boys, and he found that hot because he knew they were so poor they could not refuse the money. It was a huge scandal, so he publicly said he never slept with underage boys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Mitterrand#The_Bad_Life
