Spare A Thought For People Working Today

Might be an idea to tip a few of these hard working mainly happy people. I'm sure the kids working at the thousands of 7 11s in chiang Mai aren't on double time. The guards at my moo baan have a money tree out today. Made a donation. Extra salutes for me. Happy songkran.

Why, is that the custom of out hosts?

There are thousands of different jobs that require unsocial hours, whether they get overtime or not is none of my concern. What I will say however, is that there are various nice people who I deal with all year and I give them a gift at Songkran. If the guards at your moo bahn are helpful, then I think you should give them something, but not because they have a money tree out.

I've seen thai people tip other Thais many times

That's great. I'm sure you're very happy with yourself. Well done.

Tip tuk-tuks double: 2 x 0=ZERO! 12% UE in the EU, and 8% in the other EU (Estados Unidos), I would say they are lucky to have jobs. I prefer to work week-ends.....hate the stores on Saturday.....all the sheep are shopping.

Work? What's that? I'm sitting on my butt sorting out photos on my computer. Is that considered work?

My friends are preparing a nice meal for me and other guests. I get to play Queen Bee.

You tip at 7-11?

There was a thread about it. I think the conclusion was that if you don't you're lower than one (some) of the wonderful poster(s) we have on here who do.

It's best not to go into it.

You're insufferable.

True. I just like to gloat a bit right now.

Later, when I want to go hiking and the weather is pouring rain I'll sing a different tune, and I'll remember that I could go hiking every day in Chiang Mai and always count on sunshine..
