i find it very difficult to age Thai guys sometimes, they can have an ageless/ timeless quality to them on occasion.

The words "ageless" and "timeless" mean something else: abiding, continuing, enduring, eternal, everlasting, immortal, 
perennial, etc.

I think it might be better just to say it this way: 

They often look much younger than their actual age.

Those words also speak to the character and not just age. Yes, the sentence does talk about age, but not necessarily just "younger than their actual age". 

The last guy I met on that trip looked 23 and was closer to 40.

So you merely described how he "looked"?

You didn't say anything about character, personality or life experiences.
