Wondering how any other board members treat this? Do you tip all these guys? I mostly just ignore them. But it still annoys me having to run the tip gauntlet every time I am there.

The problem with them is, once you start tipping one of them, they will bring their whole kampung over. Supervisor/captain/manager etc etc
Eventually the whole tipping can go out of control and it's not really a small amount if you sit from 11pm to 2am (There were times I paid about 1mil in tips when I was drunk and couldn't really remember who took and what not)
Sometimes it's not really about the $$, I can be feeling generous but it's just plain irritating when they keep coming over, opening the curtain and try to find opportunities to get tips from you. Very much like flies to a pile of dung.. (i'm the dung in this case
)
During my last trip there, I got so fed up that I literally went off at them because I want to spend some quality time with my dancer. Told them to only come back when I call for bill, and not tip anyone prior to that.
That works to a certain extent, but if you wanna avoid tipping altogether, skip the sofa. Or just ask the dancer to come over to your hotel either before or after work.
