My Mrs tips 10% or 100 baht (whichever is the greater). Her logic is that the waiter/waitress is from Laos or Cambodia etc. and they deserve it.

 

Standard tip is 10-20 baht, but not expected.  Doesn't matter how big the bill is.  Using percentages is a western thing.  Lots of Russians and Europeans don't tip anything.  If waitresses expect tips I won't go there.  That only seems to happen at western-managed places trying to import tipping cancer culture into Thailand and probably underpaying their staff.  Tipping 100b no matter how small the bill makes no sense.  Especially if the bill is only a couple hundred baht.

   You are claiming that waitresses in restaurants in Thailand usually have Felang boyfriends ?

   What are you basing that opinion on ?

Or is that just what you imagine ?

Older Western men think that they are Gods gift to woman , so they flirt with evert female under 25 they encounter 

Based on a farang restaurant i go to some of them have farang boyfriends, plus i know it anyway, not unusual for boyfriends to encourage them to get a job, better than dragging them around 24/7. Your opinion seems distorted

Surely it is below you to be in that area. Why do you keep wandering around there?

Here's the Nicky's full english breaky (includes large coffee). I consider that a very good breakfast for 99 baht

 

 

 

If that's only 99 baht then that's gotta be good value ....

Nicky's is only 99 baht before 1pm and tastes much better than the CC 99 baht breakfast

Well of course it's my opinion as I wrote it, who else's opinion would it be?

 

...did you need me to do a survey of 100 people before I can post Nicky's breakfast is better than CC's 😉

I see you and your ilk at Cheap Charlie’s as I walk past there to get to the High Rollers bar (and similar). Enjoy your 99 baht meals… livin’ the dream! 🤣

Maybe explain to us how you can skip passing a certain establishment, frequented by those who can't afford a +99 baht meal, when you walk that soi.

I'm sure it will not be those that have stopped eating baked beans because they are over 50 baht a tin now. Or post here that they didn't know that the 200 baht coffee pot they bought from Lazada was a knock off from the +2000 baht Bialetti, and actually worked as good. 😅

Bialetti is for those highfalutin guys, no difference to the copies, I can't remember anything you've posted before so i can't drag it up like you

Bialetti is for those who can afford it. The knock offs for those who can't, and those who claim that the knock offs are as good as the original are just delusional, because how would they know when they never could afford to own an original one.

Never use the place, so of course you talk nonsense! High Rollers Bar.... it's just a bar on the towns crappiest street really.

Try using the other side of the street, or using blinkers.......

I don't know what people have against CCs, it is popular and keeps people fed... I personally prefer AC places to eat.

I just went on Cheap Charlies Facebook site and was shocked how all of the food reviews were so positive without a single criticism (I mean it was sickening how fantastic the food apparently is, 5 stars)

 

Now this has not been my experience after I bought the membership card that gives all daily specials at 99 baht. While it could be considered great value, I don't think any of the food has ever tasted great to me (been 4 or 5 times)

 

Anyway, I thought I'd post that tomorrow's sirloin steak special was not very good when I had it a couple of weeks ago, but what else to expect for 99 baht and within 2 minutes I was banned from their Facebook page. Now I understand why all the posts are so positive, anything else is just banned 😆 

 

 

 

You'd better use Google Maps. They can't remove or modify your review there. But on their own Facebook page they can do whatever they want.

I have been there for breakfast often over the years. I went to Soi Bukhao CC for the last time last week. Was amazed how they could make a piece of bread/toast so hard. Was virtually unchewable.

On the subject of Nicky's, yes it's a better breakfast, but the laboratory/canteen atmosphere isn't great, plus today AC set at 20⁰ so will be 18-19.5⁰ most likely. Why do they think since they moved everyone wants to freeze. Then there's the music on too loud so i asked them to turn down. They just don't get it right

[Henryford]

Some people expect Cordon Bleu for 99 baht then complain when they don't get it. The restaurant is for cheap charlies, hence the name.

 If you dig into it deeper, its clearly not a Thai owned affair! So your 'generalized' Thai bashing is not really right?

Correct me, please.
