I go to Bangkok three or four times a year, stay a week or two and haven't seen them either, although I haven't really looked. I was even around Khoasan Rd several times recently and didn't see them.

Knowing I had been UGd to a suite (app showed this) with a view of the Tower, they asked if they could see the room. The one kid's mom actually thanked me on FB for giving them a ride. The next morning, they asked if they could come by to shower, so I hid everything in the safe and let them in. Housekeeping came and cleaned once they left, and, honestly, the entertainment I get from their FB posts made it worth it. Plus they told me about some Websites young people know that people my age don't, most of which I use now.
