mattk1 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hey guys, Just a quick question about the guys outside bars who help you park when you arrive and then help you again when you leave (normally waving a torch). What's the deal there, am I expected to tip and if so what's the normal routine? I never really need the parking guys help but they don't really give you any choice, as soon you pull up, there they are, lol. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the boys with the torches and not the whistles, you should never tip these parking attendants less than 1,000 Baht. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThePlant Posted February 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2015 Could be a new sideline for the pikeys.... A whistle and a torch down the end of Soi Ladyboy spunk is a lot cheaper than huddling around a 10 year old Acer in the grindhouse doorway..... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonytigerbkk Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Let's also not forget to tip the guy giving a shoulder rub as you're taking a leak. I believe that 2,000 Baht is the going rate, making a park & rub tip total of 3,000 Baht minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Roadman Posted February 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2015 If you want a sensible answer then yes. ฿20 is what my family give as a tip. Some get a few Baht from the establishment but they rely on tips. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted February 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2015 It depends... but mostly just offer 20 baht. If its in a restaurant car park - Tip is up to you (I usually give them 20 baht). If its on the side of the street - Tip is a must, they expect it... they can get upset and scratch the car etc otherwise. It just not worth it. Now, my issue: I have a reversing camera and sensors - these guys alway stand too close to my car and the sensors are going off !!... I've never trusted them since one of these guys reversed me into another car years ago (*pre-sensor / camera days). But, they are useful - they prevent those careless carpark dings in your door... its amazing how much more careful silly people are when they are being watched while exiting their car... That alone is worth a 20 baht tip. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it throwing your toys and name-calling that caused you to be engulfed by the Dark Side in the first place? Seriously, though you've got this massive inferiority complex that seeps into every single word you type. I urge you to seek counseling at your earliest opportunity lest it consume you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would probably have trouble blowing the whistle as he exhausts his ability to 'blow' during his vigorous grindhouse liaisons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
