one can only hope that it was investor's money , not public

we can be 125% sure that boy prefers baht to a drink but they may have a weekly / monthly quota of drinks and / or offs to fill. Bright side is when boy sits in close proximity to customer chances are that heat generated will result in generous tip and even off. As they say putting one's hand on boy's thigh is responsible for more offs than all mamasan's efforts. In such a case drink becomes more part of liturgy than expense.

to avoid such situation and keep one disciplined, even when drunk it helps to have kind of internal rules. I'd not tip anybody in bar more than 300 doesn't matter how fun he'd be , unless I had a chance inspect his good closely so no chance of being too generous to mamasan. On another hand in the room or at massage if guy gets naked and allows me to touch him it's at least 1000 even if service is of sandbagy kind. Another way of avoiding going overboard is to deal with cash and limited amount of it. If you bring 1000 baht to the bar you will not spend more. Only reason I may be reserved about overtipping mamasans or waiters that it may not be fair to other guys in bar-those standing on the scene in just underwear

correct but they may steer clients toward more expensive choices where they may get commission to is not a bad idea to get informed

nothing bad, you just try to distribute world's wealth more evenly

190/130 already ? why are you so agitated ? Some societies invented way of paying service providers decent salaries, Americans instead invented band-aid called tipping which allows employers to pay pittance on understanding that kindness of strangers will supplement that meager income.

perhaps tippers should be more generous than going by Thai standards as I'm told by people in the know that Thais are not exactly lavish tippers in places they frequent

you are trying to get back at waiters for bankers milking you for ATM fees and poor exchange rates? Doesn't sound neither fair nor wise, pretty nasty and undeserved comments by anybody , never mind somebody who did not participate in forum for that long. There are nicer ways of returning with big bang. If you opt to have shallow pockets it's your choice but don't invoice service personnel in Thai bars for your earning and saving troubles

you see, not only you are trying to force your tipping habits on rest of the world but it looks that cultural imperialism includes also telling people when they should go for their vacations

some people may not believe in American cultural supremacy and very idea of giving money to somebody for doing his job may be very foreign / Japanese , most Pacific islanders and countless others including local Thais /. Not every Cheap Charlie is actually one.

almost the same here. I tip waiter 20 baht per trip to my seat. He brings me drink , it's 20 , he brings drink to boy I invited 20 minutes later, another 20. But when I order another round for both me and boy or I'm visiting bar with somebody and drinks are on me , it will be still 20 , even if he actually brings 2 drinks. If waiter taking order is the same who is bringing it , money will land in his palm. If that's different guy, money will go to the folder. Almost religiously I try to have always exact change so there's no misunderstanding. Mamasans generally are not getting tip unless I enlisted their help or are actually providing nice conversation which sometimes happens, again , usually with ones who recognize me from before, then it's 50-100. If they want more usually I ask ' can I see your cock"

every 7/11 or family Mart will carry those prominently displayed by the cash registers, no need to look for pharmacy, plenty of those as well. In Silom / Patpong / Suriwiong area this is last of your worries and absolutely no need to be shy , they saw it all , most likely in the last 15 minutes

welcome to the forum !

if he is your friend try to talk him out of it before it will become too late and friendship will be over among other things

and not only one can see but for small consideration inspection is available.

You got that right !

don't you have some Black Friday shopping to do ?

that's whole point, see first , talk later

answer is in your own original post

I may be there too. I don't discriminate in last few years offed their boys st least 4 times , 3 out of those LT. Results? Kind of mixed but rather on positive side

you just made my day, thank you

yes back in 1992 or 93 underscored part is one I don't like and hope nobody who uses credit card in bar will see one day a banner across the computer screen " Hot Male boy bar has naked night on Wednesday, we are waiting for you", all when his grandson or sister is looking on.

we only can wish them luck in new formula it means one more free chair for those who will do

When was last time you actually were in Moonlight or Tawan ? anyways, what is so hard to believe ? Anybody who is sitting in say , Maxi for more than 15 minutes between 10-11 p.m. will for sure see customer salivating and proudly marching with guy we would not even gave second glance , whatever our preferences are . And hundreds are walking with beautiful girls none of us wants. likes , desires , find hot , sexy , sensual etc. I'm pretty sure that whatever your favorite type is you still find plenty specimens of that type you will not want , like....

My card was blocked not because I was travelling but because bank's system "thought" that I made purchase qualifying as ' unusual activity ' in their opinion. Not that easy to straighten out in the days before smartphones at 10 p.m. in relatively unknown place when one couldn't phone because did not have a cash and couldn't pay with card because she was blocked. No , I'm not leaving my vacation fun to decision of some cold algorithm or malfunction of power supply while I'm thousands kilometers away. Yes cash can be stolen . As strong believer of not keeping all eggs in one basket I'm happy to take a risk.
