He's there because he's a close relative of the owner. If you know anything about Asia, that in itself should tell you something.
The plot thickens. "His services come in handy" (what services I wonder - is this one of those 'full-service' resorts?) only when a farang stumbles in - he knows for a fact that no farang would "stumble in" when he's away shacking up with an old customer??...imagine that. What does he do? Announce on the hotel's FB page (in Thai & English) that he'll be away on such & such a date fucking this old farang so please don't come if you speak English? And how would "his services come in handy" if the farang stumbles in with his Thai girlfriend when there's no longer a language barrier as the gf can do all the talking? Threesome?

As a matter of fact I do know a thing or two about Asia and working in a family business. I worked in my grandparents noodle shop when I was in my teens and we (my siblings and I) were expected to work much harder than the regular staff so as to create a good example and not create resentment. No nepotism and no taking off for days on end to co-star in some geronto-porn flick, no matter how lucrative it could be.

You forgot to mention that he's also a co-owner of the resort and when he doesn't feel like getting up for work, he can just phone it in.
