Your "trial by fire" was quite common for gay farang new to Thailand.  What you went through was difficult for you, but thankfully not devastating.  Now you know what so many of us, including me, learned the hard way.
 
Many farang ended up not only heartbroken, but financially devastated too. Reading your posts I believe you are a very nice person.  I'm glad you found your way out of the trap and I'm glad you did not let that boy ruin your holiday.
 
I think it's appropriate for me to repeat what I have posted so many times before - what I call "The Richard Burk Philosophy."  I think now you will far better understand why he said it:
 
"If you want love in Thailand, rent it."

There have been no reports in the media about jet ski scams lately.  However, even if the problem has been solved, I would still advise you to avoid jet skis or even swimming in the sea in Pattaya.  The water is incredibly polluted.  Just a couple days ago a lot of trash and dead fish washed up on the beach.  
 
If you want to swim in the sea or rent jet skis, I would suggest doing that far from Pattaya - VERY far from Pattaya - at least until the local powers-that-be get the pollution cleaned up (don't hold your breath for that).

Thank you for that, and you are correct.  Several of us do know each other quite well and are always happy to make new friends and help people new to Pattaya..
 
If you are interested, every Thursday a group, usually 12 to 18 people, meet for dinner at 7:00pm at Sunee Plaza's Ting Tong Red bar.  The owner, Mario, serves a meatloaf dinner.  If you are interested, let me know and I'll be happy to put you in touch with the gent who makes all the arrangements.
 
Also, nearly every night, right next door to Ting Tong Red, is the Elephant bar.  A small group can almost always be found there at "The Round Table" from about 8:30pm-10:00pm.
 
You would be most welcome.  Most of these people have lived in Pattaya for many years and are just the right people to meet if you are new to Pattaya and don't have man farang friends just yet.  You'll know all the ins and outs of Pattaya in no time.

Thais interested in bondage - that must be "The Thai that Binds" . . .
 
Don't feel badly that the BDSM club closed.  I often see local people, both Thai and farang, interested in BDSM advertising themselves on Planet Romeo.

You're going to have to do better than that.  Out of curiosity I looked for the pic.  I can't find it. 
 
You need to either attach the pic to your post or give us the exact URL for the pic so that all anyone needs to do is click on the URL and the pic comes up.

I get annoyed at "new and improved" when I can't figure out what needed improving to begin with.  Was there something wrong with their "classic" format that virtually cried out for improvement? 
 
I'm not particularly confused by their new site, but I too intend to stick with the "classic" site.  That's what I'm used to and that's what I like.  I can't find any aspect at all on their "improved" site that strikes me as any better than it was in the first place.
 
I have a similar peeve in certain grocery stores.  I finally get to know just where certain items that interest me are located, and then some schmuck who apparently has nothing better to do decides that all kinds of things need to be moved around.  Now I can't find what I'm looking for when during my last visit I knew exactly where to look. 
 
Same for Planet Romeo.  While I greatly appreciate the site and have met many wonderful boys because of it, when it comes to major changes and moving things around - you know - to improve the site, my first question would be "Who asked you to improve the site?"
 
While we're at it, I would also want to know, "Who asked you to change the name from Gay Romeo to Planet Romeo?  You did that for what?"
 
Oh well - maybe we'll get lucky and the improved format will confuse the Pattaya boys so much that they'll all return to doing their farang hunting on the beach.  As far as I'm concerned, that would be an improvement . . .

I'd say the more open your wallet is, the more open the boys will be.

If it was something such as a trip to his hometown, no problem.  But you're going to Boyztown, not to mention the other Pattaya gay venues.  Of course you're going to be attracted to other boys and this is your holiday. 
 
My advice - don't take him.  If you take him, you're asking for trouble and trouble is what you'll get. 
 
If you want to help him financially, give him some good farewell money, maybe even buy an airline ticket for him to go to Phnom Penh or wherever to visit his family, say goodbye, and have a fabulous time in Pattaya without having to worry about a boy you brought along - no matter what his motivation might be.

The point is not 'how to save pics' lessons.  The point is if the OP had downloaded the boy's pic, by whatever method, and had included it in his post, that would have made it far easier for us to help find him.
 
My suggestion is anyone interested in a particular boy and wants to see him again when he returns to Thailand, or even see him for a first time, making sure to have a good pic of him available - just in case - would be enormously helpful.
 
I even tried looking for Chati on the popular chat app, LINE.  Unfortunately there is no user by that name.
 
"153 cm, 45 kg, 21 year old, nice looking" is a description that easily applies to literally hundreds of boys.  I have no idea how the OP could even hope any of us could track him down based solely upon that. 
 
This is once circumstance in which one picture is probably worth far more than a mere thousand words.

Firecat69 is right.  Especially if it's a money boy, they very often delete one profile and start a new one with a different name.  That way they try to appear as if they're new to Planet Romeo.
 
When you log in to Planet Romeo, do a "Detailed User Search" for Pattaya, Bangkok, or wherever.  If it is checked, uncheck "online Now", and then select "Newest Accounts First."
 
Chances are very good that you'll do the search and Bingo!  There he is . . .
 
Do you know if he is a bar boy?  If he is, you might check the gay bars to try to find him.  Maybe you won't find him, but you at least can have a good time looking for him.
 
Something else to think about - As a 'just in case,' next time you find a boy you like, download at least one good face pic of him, if available.  If you open the pic and then do a CTRL-S, on Planet Romeo the picture will download.  If you had a pic of him and posted it, that would make it much easier for us to help you find him.
 
Don't forget to check some of the other gay hookup sites too, such as Grindr, Hornet, et al.  I've seen many times when, for whatever reason, a boy will delete his Planet Romeo profile, but has an active profile on other hookup sites.
