There are lots of compensations such as the fact that Bangkok is the best city in the world for food (of pretty much any type or ethnicity); the social life is great; and it's a great place if you fancy visiting the rest of asia without being what the thai locals call a farang kii nok (bird shit foreigner - or backpacker)

And they're probably quite happy to go for a few pints and watch the football straight afterwards. None of that "let's just cuddle and talk" business.

No, I couldn't be doing with all that pouffery. There's enough lotions, potions, tweezers and make-up living with a woman. I think it would 'frying-pan to fire' to leave a lady for a lady-boy. Also Neil52 painted a rather gruesome picture of the consequences of man-love.
