Spoonman Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 The next worst thing I see is people dining, spending hundreds of baht, and being unwilling to even leave a 20 baht tip. Come on guys. It does not mean anything to you, but it sure means something to them. So, why not? I earnt my money by working for it, not waiting on hand outs. so should they. That is certainly your choice. But by the providence of your birth you were able to earn enough to come and live in an exotic country of your choice, and live well, at that. They do not have that good fortune. All I am suggesting is that it does a man's heart good, to be kind to others. And the tip of under $1 is not going to affect your life too dramatically. It might help theirs. But, the choice is yours to make. The Thais I know in the US don't tip....ever. Service people rely on these tips to survive as they do not make a living wage. The Thais that are there, by the providence of their birth, are able to earn enough to go to an exotic country of their choice and live well. Many Americans do not have this good fortune. I suggest that these stingy people follow the customs of their host country and have enough respect to contribute to the well being of the country's citizens by giving them the proper amount they deserve for their services. If Americans never came here for R&R during the Vietnam War tipping would not exist here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soihok Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Most recent is the report of the Turk getting slashed over an argument for being charged 10 baht too much for a piece of fruit. I mean, 10 baht, what a weirdo. Then again I guess people still argue over that for the baht bus ride between Jomtien and Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thhMan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I had a friend who would always make a scene at restaurants, over a perception that he was being charged 20 baht too much. It was always over tiny stuff. And he is a wealthy guy. Also, he would never leave a tip, even after hassling the staff. Got to the point where none of my friends would want to eat with him. Same here. I blacklisted him. No interest in hanging out with Grinch. The next worst thing I see is people dining, spending hundreds of baht, and being unwilling to even leave a 20 baht tip. Come on guys. It does not mean anything to you, but it sure means something to them. So, why not? A tip is for the service and the quality of the food (considering the price) If a waiter/ress decides to throw a menu down in front of me... no tip for you If the food is horrible (microwaved, cold, long waiting times)... no tip for you If the service is standard... tip for you If the food was as described... tip for you I dont go out of my way to tip for bad service or food... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Stingy. One of my Thai brothers in law was going through a seperation from partner number 2 about a year ago, he was in need of somewhere to stay close to his work. As it happened our house was close by and as we were out of the country due to my work, my wife suggested he stay at ours. So he moved in. A couple of months later he moved out as the Electric and Water had been cut off as he hadn't paid the bills. If that wasn't bad enough, he also decided to remove one of our TV's and sell it. The money didn't go on reistating the Leccy and Water though. What a stingy git. Edited August 23, 2014 by soihok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhFarangJa Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Probably not the stingiest, but in my book pretty low...and a con I had not come up against before.....Last year I was sitting in a bar at Nana watching the world go by while the boss was shopping, ( it tends to numb the shock of the bill when she returns!) A Farang sat down and struck up a conversation. we ended up getting in reciprocal "rounds" (me on Chang, he on Tiger.) something I very, very rarely do with a stranger My wife returned, I paid my bin, and said goodbye. Three months later we returned as we are regular there, and the girl said there was a problem that I owed for some beer, Apparently, I had paid my bill which included his beers, but when he left he refused to pay for the Changs saying he did not drink them!! the resultant deficit would come out of the girls monies, so I paid the bill, but in my opinion a complete A******e. I still look out for him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very small man, with no honor, class, dignity, integrity, respect, affection, love, kindness, nor self esteem. Cut him off, forever. He is persona non grata. Too bad when immediate family does something so foolish, and so lacking in vision. But, a fool is a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 A Thai friend of mine had a bottle of water with a meal but didn't drink any. She tried to pour it back into the bottle but the ice had melted and so there wasn't enough room for all the water. She asked for my bottle to put the remaining water in. This really amazed me as the woman's husband is a multi millionaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
