If I am in such situation, I would send her some money, a amount that I could afford and I believe that I could her. I remember I sent a TG, a friend of my friend's girl, some money and ask her to go to learn some english as it would be good to her if she continues to work in Patong. At first, she didn't want but finally she took it (at that time, there is nothing between us and I didn't intend to impress her in any way). What I believe is that we come from a wealthy place when compare with the TG. I don't mind they do a little trick to get my generosity but I don't want to be treated as a fool. So, if there is a good reason, which can convince me, I am in the trap. No harm to me afterall, I feel better as afterall, the money goes to a poor person and would not be used in jewellery, perfume or other non-essential items.

Sometimes I feel lucky of better treated as a 'fool' as I have a deep pocket and not them, but one important thing is that I would not give them the impression that it is only a 'one-off' sponsor and I would be supporting them for long. This, they should know how to adjust themselves according to their income.
