When I said he must have lots of girls chasing him for sex he replies "mai chai, mai mii ngen" no, can't afford it. Even young guys pay for sex in Thailand.

It cost to have a girlfriend in Thailand. I don't know about this man, but a Thai with a salary that just cover the cost for room and food most of the time can not afford to have a girlfriend. Thai girlfriends can be costly, they expect gifts, to be taken out for dinner and cinema etc. The boy is most of the time expected to pay. So your masseur might not be talking about cash.
I have met many young Thai complaining about this. It is the same in most countries in SEA.
