As I say, the age of consent for commercial sex in Thailand is 18 (see Gay Asia and Asian Gay and Lesbian Resources by Utopia 大同 advisory, for example), and that's counted as the Western way (ie. he has to have reached his 18th birthday). My preference is for young men who look to be in their twenties. Since I only ever take a boy back to my hotel from nearby bar, and he always looks to be in his twenties, and I always stay at Tarntawan where security checks on IDs, I've pretty much minimized any risks the Land of Scams may put my way in that department.
