I had a job done recently by an Electrical guy, he drove 20km to me, spent 3 hrs sorting out a problem, 45minutes of that in the roof space with 36 deg heat so lord knows what it was like up in that space. When it was all finished, the electrical issiue fixed , he asked for 400 baht ! I gave him double !

I wouldnt have even come out that distance for 400 let alone what he did altogether. So yeah, that boy got a good tip ! Amazing service and VALUE in my book.

Imagine what the cost wouldve been in the West.

 

Generally out and about, no I dont tip unless its not bothering with "shrapnel" with change, and I dont regard that as a tip, more a convenience for me as I hate coins.

 

I done similar with a plumber, he came over after his workday on a site, wife helping, kids sat in the truck. My wife had arranged it all. Sorted out a serious shower wall leak in a jiffy, with no electricity therefore decent working light, due to the hazard of shower heater being connected to the mains, as always here.

Asked exactly the same, and I doubled, then went to B1000 because of the wife and kids, and covid. 

if it was in any way free of pork, they would have run a mile by now, retirement is expensive with General Jiphat Jones and his wife and merc and mansions and mea noi to keep up with!

They will never leave the boat pens, and eventually, a tourist attraction, with us payng extra, of course!

As a former clandestine open air own-use grower couple, know that they have solved many problems that forced us to grow to begin with, it was safer in secret, rather than relying on flaky underworld suppliers, and now the most obvious other fix being that quality weed will be dropping in price here soon as the market saturates.

Meanwhile indoors costs a fortune in energy alone, you need good lights And good fans, Also need to hide if renting alone as for you its still illegal to grow without a permit!

its time consuming, tricky, you can easily kill or sicken your own weed, and then...

you start over!

So unless youre doing it for pure pleasure of growing, and you have deep pockets, just spend the time and money enjoying the countless varieties that will be everywhere in a matter of months. 

As with many topics of advice sought here not expat specific, you're far better just googling this info anyway.

I ask you, did the Thai government really need that giving away 1 million marijuana plants like a hole in the head? this is only the beginning of what is going to transpire in this country because of this stupid irresponsible move...

Ezzra mate, have a Chamomile Tea, and a nice hash cookie.

Thailand is not about to enter a state of anarchy.

You may notice more glassy-eyed Thai smiles, and more pizza box litter, the odd smell of ganga will waft you way, but that's about the worst that will happen.

The road toll won't worsen, stoners won't shoot-up schools and malls, Khun Prayuth won't make more sense when listening to him while stoned.

Relax, everything will be just fine! 

This guy is clinically disturbed. 

Cannabis is no more to blame than were he to have taken alcohol and mutilated himself. 

Yes, It didn't help his disturbed condition, no, it does not follow  that other cannabis users, even disturbed ones, will embark on a spree of penilectomies.

But that's what the gutter press want you to believe.

Really, well we live and learn and as I born before those dates  no one can label me with that silly title.

You're one of the "silent generation" so that's the end of your forum posting career then. ????

Hey teacher!

Leave them kids alone!

 pay attention ....the only place President Trump is going.. is back to the White House

if you believe anything that comes out of Schiff, ABC, NBC, CNN, Washington Post..  I have a bridge that's for sale

I read this imagining Trump's voice saying it.

It's exactly how Trump speaks!

Trumps literally implanted himself into people's minds.

That's some powerful ju-ju. 

No wonder he got away with grabbing them by the pussy too!

Even the Andrew formerly known as Prince couldn't pull that off. 

Powerful ju-ju indeed.

Well, at least they're getting sugar and water for a fixed price, so not a total fraud.
