Well, there's this saying - different bros diffeerent strokes, to each his own, and etc, and etc.

To some, tipping of 500 baht may seem excessive but to others, it may not.

For me, the amount I tip is based on what I feel comfortable. I don't compete with others and I don't really believe in what they call "market rate". Who determines the "market rate"? Who is to say that 5% or 10% or whatever the amount is suppose to be the market rate?

I've been to Bangkok for very many years already. I think since Nataree started some more than 10 years ago. And each time I go for an MP girl, I normally tip 1,000 Baht. The only times I tipped less were when I was with a group in Poseidon VIP rooms. Since all my friends tipped 500 Baht, I also followed suit although I felt a little uncomfortable.

I don't think what I do will spoil any "market" there as I don't think people like me can change the views or expectations of the FLs. At most, the FLs may think it is one of their lucky days and not expect it as a norm in their earnings. They're not that naive lah. The same as in SG when I book an FL from an OKT under the FL Dome Section. My tips ranged from $50 to above $100. But I don't think this will make the FL thinks that it is the norm here in SG, right?

Anyway, now I "fear" to continue my FR. Imagine I already stated tipping the waitress 500 Baht for informing the agogo dancer of my interest. My continuation may upset some bros here.
