Thanks for the reply LivinLOS, yeah I was a bit confused with how the girls think their sponsor's are stupid .... but taking care of them is also part of their culture?
Last night I asked a few thai friends about this. (background: two young bkk university girls, early-mid 20's with decent middle class families.) Both girls had the same response, "I would never take money from a man unless he was my husband". Which to me sounded the same as what a farang chick would say.
However they did explain that things are different with people who come from the more poor and rural background, and that it is not unordinary for a man to give money to those girls. They said it is a way for the man to show love and that he is serious about the girl. Also one of them said she and her old thai boyfriend used to share money, which she thought was normal.
Just thought I'd add what I found out.
