Tipping
From the linked article: ".....paying for a service twice (once for the employer and once for the employee)." That's like the double tax system..... tax what is earned....then tax what is spent. As for tipping, I generally tip something all the time unless the service is poor (or the food is not good). Today for lunch it was bamee moo yum for two of us at one of my favorite 'go to' noodle shops.. Mine was the special so a slightly larger sized portion. The cost, 95 THB. I tossed them a 100 THB and told them to keep the change. While eating I noticed that the cleanup crew consisted of two young girls about the age of 10 or so..... On my way out I handed each a 20 THB note, told them in Thai that they were doing a good job, to take the money and treat themselves to some ice cream. So in total 45 THB tip on a 95 THB lunch.....that's more than a 50% tip..... but then again the soup was excellent as usual, service standard for the shop.... maybe a tip much more than many would leave but hey, we had our fill and for what, a total of less than 5 USD...... No issue for me, I won't be losing any sleep over it......matter of fact, seeing two young girls with bright smiles on their faces when I left the shop will make me sleep well. -

Interesting point of view .... and mine did say that if we'd had kids, she'd probably love them more than me. -

What was it Adams said? "They haven't gone away you know"! Still, he ought to know - being a tout and all that. -

Am I in trouble?I have an O visa ,reside in Rayong and just spent four days in Bangkok
A TM-30, in theory, is your ""normal"" residence - although hotels do TM-30's if you use your passport to check in. You should do a new TM-30 when you return to your home address. BUT as usual, find out LOCAL OFFICE POLICY. A TM-47 ( 90 day report) IS basically confirmation that you still live at your TM-30 address. MANY IO's are NOW cross checking ( mine does ) the TM's now. -

A Trump Hater is a Traitor
I never claimed he was an illegal alien, however he was convicted of sexual abuse. Your jump to alleging I'm in love with third world dregs of humanity is quite amusing but sad. Pouring boiling oil on the barbarians at the gate seems a little excessive as most civilised nations have evolved to believe that sort of act is a tad over the top. Keys to the kingdom? Who's the king then?
