The guys who help you to park your car with their torch - expect a tip?

Oh how predictable. thePlank's forum mates have floated

to the surface to back him up. You guys have been in

Thailand too long. You've adopted the locals' battle tactics

- attack in a pack like cowards because, individually, you're

not up to much. Surely you can do better than ND's typically

asinine 'grindhouse' brainfarts. Ah well, never mind - you can

just like each others' posts - that always works.......doesn't it?

I learnt the hard way at a bar on the Hang Dong road, I did not know about the tip and I upset the guy as I would not park too close to the car in front and the next day I had to take my car to the Nissan paintshop as there was about 20,000 baht of damage to the bodywork (the car was only a few weeks old). It took about a month before the insurance company would agree to do the work as I only had a British driving licence, so I had to explain agressivley that they took my insurance money knowing that I only had a British driving licence and then they agreed to do the work. So now in the same situation I always wave a few 20 baht notes for the attendant.

If you are a regular, tip him well and he will see that he reserve a lot for you everytime you turn up. For that, 200B upwards will do the trick. That's for 1 car and whole night earning I was told, attendants get 2,000B each for a busy club.

Or you could fester in bitter, furious envy at those who have been a success in Thailand and attack your betters at every post they make eh?

Envy? Envious of what? Do tell because last I

recall, you actually confessed that your work

permit was your most cherished possession.

Why in God's name would I be envious of

someone sad enough to think like that? blink.png

Envy at the fact we're not festering in a windowless grindhouse in Soi Ladyboy Spunk which mildly reeks of the stench of Chester's takeaway spaghetti farts, living off mama noodles, actually enjoying successful lives here, unlike losers who have to pretend to have takeaways, constantly looking over their shoulders for immigration officers.....still, carry on raging in your furious envy....

I don't pay because I know how to park. Just like I am perfectly capable of carrying my bags to my hotel room, and I don't need a rubdown when I pee.

Not my fault other people can't drive.

Mama noodles? I've never even tried them.

Grindhouse? Try 120 sqm modern condo

Soi Ladyboy Spunk? Try Thonglor

Immigration? Nothing to fear; all 100% legal

Anyway, HeavyDrinker - oops sorry, thePlank,

my back's aching from having to stoop down

to your level so I'll go talk with some adults

who walk upright for a while

Most times I give only 20 baht but the other day when I was bringing my mother-in-law to emergency at the Hospital in Nakhon Pathom, I gave the 2 attendants' 50 baht each as they moved some barricades enabling me to park close to the entrance. Maybe I didn't have to pay but I figure since the attendant went out of their way to help me out, I wanted them to know that I really appreciated their assistance. It never hurts to tip.

Depends if you want all parts of your car still attached when you come back to get it.

I tipped 20 baht and came back to missing rear license plate and half of the front cowling almost off.

Tip? Yes. whistling.gif

Yes, usually a 500 baht tip is normal for those hard working lads.

Don't be so tight! I usually give 1000 or even 2000 if they have a whistle wink.png

Gee yeahsiam is really worked up and angry, which I find odd as motorcycle taxis normally just drop you at the door and you don't need to pay the car park attendant....perhaps he just realise he's heen ripped off again.

Yeah Siam, how many of your digi mates do you cram into a 120sqm metre condo?

What digimates? Oh hang on, let me guess....the

ones at the 'Grind house' on er.....yeah that's it,

soi Ladyboy Spunk right? coffee1.gif

Wow, you picked up the M.O.real quick, didn't you?

When one's intellect can't manage a rebuttal, resort

to childish name-calling. Anyone would think ND and

thePlank's little club imposes a maximum IQ for

membership.

Have you thought about anger management help? I've seen what can happen if you let this type of thing spiral out of control yeahsiam.

I understand you might be feeling envious but getting so upset won't help you improve your lot in life.

Seeing as I haven't resorted to childish

name-calling and insults, I'd say I don't

have any anger to manage but a couple of

your gang members have been quite vicious,

haven't they? "Trampy loser" hissed Darth

Sidious earlier in the thread. "Douche

bag" spat the linguistically-challenged

Crazy Chef a few posts ago. I wonder why

they're so bitter. Can't be sure about the

Chef but ThePlank is clearly a HeavyDrinker

with an inferiority complex so I've answered

my own question. As for you, I feel like I'm

arguing with a six year old because you think

you can make up for a truly dreadful lack of

bantering skill with sheer force of repetition.

Hence, "Grindhouse, grindhouse, angry, angry,

grindhouse, grindhouse,grindhouse,grindhouse,

grindhouse,grindhouse,grindhouse....." clap2.gif

You continue to suggest I belong to a gang and I belong to nothing of the kind. I post here alone and virtually EVERYTIME I come across your path you are posting in some state of frenzied virolic attack.

I've tried communicating pleasantly with you and you erupt into a similar state. I even agreed with something you said elsewhere and you came out snapping like a snake with two heads.

Now I don't know who is who or what your previous tvf name was but clearly you have issues with some of the posters here, your posting history supports that hypostasise and is evident for all to see.

Myself, well you will find people in the forum that might agree with me often as they realise I speak the truth and have reasonable levels of experience in both Thailand and general life matters and I contribute pleasantly to the forum, you however just seem to have an axe to grind and you do it bitterly and no doubt with much teeth clashing.

So now you're are trying to hold me responsible for what others here write and I wouldvsuggest to you that perhaps you should concentrate, focus within and have some self control.

Clearly you are struggling, perhaps seek professional help.
