Tipping at a bar

Recommended Posts

Guest guest_BenG1000

I know there's a thread somewhere on this forum that discusses tipping .... but for the life of me I can't find it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I know it has been discussed briefly in my previous thread but there was a broader discussion elsewhere

I'd like to know what you tip waiters, mamasans, boys who spend time with you, etc

Cheers!

To answer your question,  20 Baht/drink for waiters. Boys who spend time with you,  minimum 100 Baht.  Mamasans, up to you, but many tip nothing unless the mamasan was helpful to you.

Waiters and Mamasans are part of the staff.

I believe the qualifier was “sexual contact”.

I tip waiters because they are on low salaries and do not get many offs. I tip a mamasan who has been helpful in obtaining me a seat and service on busy nights, non-pushy (if I am new to bar), or a regular mamasan. Sadly I do not like my regular mamasan in Jupiter so I get annoyed having to tip him! But he ensures I am seated and hosted so I tip moderately for service, same as I would in a restaurant. I do NOT tip other mamasans in bars where I already know one mamasan and it annoys me to no end when customers are short and they start to hover around hoping for more handouts.
