I would agree with using the apps. In CM
...Planet Romeo is moribund. A few old farang and even fewer Thai boys, many of whom are money boys past their sell by date.
...Hornet has quite a few "part time" money boys
...Blued has more men of all ages than all the other apps put together. The overwhelming majority are Thai4Thai and not looking for money, or farang at all. You will have rarity value on here,by virtue of both age and ethnicity. so you probably won't do badly.
The Chinese are not coming this year - or at least not yet. There are nowhere near as many as in the last few years. There have also been new hotels built to accommodate them and their non-arrival is pushing prices down.
