My experience with apps is miniscule and with Grindr only but usually subject of compensation was raised by boy in the latest 2nd sentence , usually as" I'm MB' or " how much you give me ? ". Another indicator is profile saying " not for fun". 

I took me some time to understand the "not for fun" part. In my country it means you're not looking for sex, only for friends or chat. While the Thai boys actually mean "not for free" when they write "not for fun"...

I wonder how many guys i've skipped because i assumed the former, where i'm from it means not looking for sex so it never occurred to me it meant not for free

Not for fun means im here to work. Sometimes they use abbreviation NFF, which can mean both not for fun and not for free.

it varies by the time of day on Grindr .  I see that Grindr  peaks around start time at the massage shops - between 5pm to 6pm - and then fluctuates throughout the evening..

More importantly, it varies by the APP that you use.

Grindr is the most popular APP for tourists passing through the Pattaya / Jomtien area.

But, the NUMBER 1 - APP in my opinion, for us that live there - it is:    

Most Thais, Laos, and Cambodians - that is where they hang out.

In third place is the  APP - formerly BLUED.

Good luck

 

I jumped on Hornet a few days ago- wow, lots of boys! Thank god there’s an alternative to Grindr.

Im not seeing many $ or MB symbols. What if I just said, “I’m in Pattaya for a week, would you come to my hotel?” I would think if they’re a MB they will then bring up price. If they say yes but don’t mention money, then maybe just a hookup? 

also how many are scammers? Like, they are 10 years older or they are looking to rip me off. Is that common or rare? 

thank you to everyone for such helpful advice….

They will bring it up, I wouldn't assume you're going to find any thai guys in pattaya just looking for hookups, it might happen but it's probably rare if they're attractive.

Filters on photos is fairly common, but someone completely different showing up hasn't happened to me yet in Pattaya. It can happen the same as anywhere else though, just go with your gut. if something feels off then ask for a quick Line video call before they come or meet them outside the entrance of the hotel before you go inside.
