What is normal gogo bar tipping?
On Thursday night I had a great time at Butterflies. I gave tips to various girls, including my server and mamasan when I did a bar fine (200 baht tip to mamasan). Absolutely nobody asked for a tip. All was good.
On Friday I returned to see my favorite girl. Various servers who did nothing for me were demanding tips. The server who brought a lady drink insisted that I also buy a drink for her (she wouldn't leave until I agreed to the servers drink). The worst was when last night's mamasan sat on the sofa with my lady and me and demanded a tip. When I gave her 40 baht she gave me a dirty look that was clearly intended to suck more money from my wallet. I refused and she started to complain in Thai. Finally I picked up my bill cup and called the server to pay my bill so I could just leave; that finally got mamasan to disappear for the rest if the evening.
So, here is the question. What do other customers do regarding tipping and drinks for servers and others that provided no direct value to me? The one that pissed me off the most was the prior night's mamasan who did nothing for me that evening.
Layover in Bangkok. What can I do
Hello Seniors,
I am having a layover in Bangkok on my international travel and I will be landing around 6:30 AM and leaving by 4:30 PM which probably gives me around 6 hours to road around the city. Can you guys suggest what areas or places I can visit. I want to experience what Bangkok has to offer (massage, FS, etc) in the short while for I may not come here anytime soon.
Thank you.
