Interesting that nobody has yet mentioned that there is also a different tipping rate for Asian (non Thai) and White Farang customers 

The Asian rate is much higher (hence the 2500b for ST being bandied around) than the expected farang rate. And of course the Thai rate is significantly lower again 

Not sure if that implies that farang are stingy or that Asians over pay, or it's somewhere in between!

First time that I am hearing this. Any idea what the rationale is? When you speak of "ST" it seems that you're referring to boys from the gogo bars; not the massage places. And are you referring to Pattaya or Bangkok or both?

I am talking about Gogo bars in Pattaya and Bkk. The average farang won't ask a mamasan "what does it cost to bring a boy home" and will likely negotiate with the boy directly. 

From my experience Asian customers will negotiate with the mamasan who will over inflate the asking price, whereas the average farang will do anything rather than deal with the mama!

I even remember Toyboys in Pattaya once had a written menu with different prices in Chinese and English that they would produce when it came to negotiations
