I've never used the apps in Thailand. Apps there are for wimps, the infirm, cheap Charlie's and the bewhiskered drunks.
However in China I simply ask 'are you a money boy?'. It saves a lot of time.

I never had this problem. Some write (in English or Thai) in their profile that they are money boys. Others bring it up during chat*. If there is any doubt, I ask "what are you looking for?". If a boy appears on my door without bringing up the issue of money, I assume he comes for fun. That works even in Pattaya.
*The earlier the better. In Myanmar and Cambodia very straightforward, whereas in Thailand you can waste some time chatting until the boy gets to the point. In 2013 I hooked up with a boy in DJ station, went to his room (much closer than my room at that time) and when we were both undressed to our underwear, he told me he is a moneyboy. He was not that good looking that I would pay, so I got dressed, said goodbye, and left.

According to my humble 10 years of experience in finding "fun for the night" in Pattaya it is always a money expectation especially if he is young and handsome (or far from it) and even in case yourself are a stunning doll too. Therefore I always ask not about whether he is money boy or not, but how much is the servise. Always works and saving a lot of time.

It’s the quantum paradox known as Schroedinger’s Money Boy
a Sophie's choice between money or a dead pussy when you finally get back to your hotel?
I can’t even be bothered to be apathetic these days!
Not using apps is ruling out a lot of good opportunities.
Like the handsome young University student I met in Bangkok.
Or a lovely young Lao lad who only goes to bars when he's out partying with his young Asian friends.
The Thai town I'm currently visiting has never had any gay bars that I know of. However, on my previous visit, I had a Korean tourist, thanks to the apps.
Finally, even the boys working at some popular Jomtien bars can suddenly disappear part way through the night, as they go for an online date. Try booking one during bar hours and they are often available.
The BC (before cellphone) era might have been more fun, but we cannot uninvent the phone. The influence is there, whether we like it or not.

My preferred type, athletic straight boys aren't on the apps. And if I fancy a twinkie winkie there are loads of them in the bars. Dont need the apps.
At present, the only place with a fair selection of twinks is Jomtien Complex, on the nights when it's open. Boyztown is closed most of the time and Sunee is dead. Even the Jomtien bars have fewer boys than are to be found on the apps.
There is a very limited selection in Bangkok Soi4 and they all also seem to be on the apps. I've yet to see anyone who could be described as a twink in a Bangkok gogo bar this season.
The other places I've visited in Thailand this year don't have gay bars, so apps are the best option.
I preferred the gogo bar scene of 10 or more years ago, but unfortunately that has mostly died out.
In many parts of Thailand, apps are now the only option with a reasonable probability of success.
