How much do you tip for: A 200 baht foot massage- A 300 baht oil massage- A 150 baht meal- do you tip the cleaning lady at your hotel? do you tip the reception at the hotel? Do you even tip people who give you a massage? Do you tip the lady at the internet cafe? How much? this isnt a hoax question, but I really like your answer. Everyone in Pattaya expects a tip, you even have fake monks walk into your foot massage, chime their stupid bell and hold their hand out for a donation.... Fuck off buddy I am trying to get a goddamn massage. Basically everyone is after your money, so I am trying to see if I am a greedy bastard, or if its everyone else trying to prey on me.

Let me reitterate- I think your stupid. Marmalade- I just cant seem to convince myself that I have made it clear how stupid I think you are. Read more »

I almost always give a 100 baht tip for any massage foot or oil. But when someone is giving me a massage and tells me to give them a tip... No way. What would you have done? And for people that have been in thailand for a while how much do you tip? Do you tip at all? It seems like everything any thai person does here in Pattaya they expect something in return. Doesnt matter what they do. Its an overwhelming barriage. Read more »
