Obviously everybody has their own thoughts about when to hand over the tip. Personally I give all of the tip before leaving room, and I try to ensure, if possible, that the man doesn't leave before the tip is passed over.
But there's another point - In some places the captain/mamasan will (after the customer has disappeared, and away from other customers) either officially (it's part of the known deal) or unoficially ask for a cut of the tip, regardless of the fact that the customer had paid a fee to the house for the massage. In these places the working boys would usually prefer that nobody knows anything about how many Baht they received direct from the customer. If the mamasan asks the boy how much tip the he received (which is quite normal practice) the boys usually say 700 (as an example) when in fact they actually received perhaps 1,500. And, as already mentioned, most boys don't want the other boys to know what tips they receive, because of pressure to loan money, pressure to buy drinks after work, etc.

1.- I see no reason for any ambiguity over TIPS.. I see what the masseur does after all are finished: if he hangs-around in the room then I give him his TIPS. then & there, but if he goes to prepare my cup of tea, (generally downstairs.), then I give him his TIPS. before leaving the estab.. 2.- Having a dry skin I welcome an oil-massage; besides, the oil acts as a preparation, as it were, for les apres massage plaisirs! - I emphasize the point that I expect a good & 60 mins'. oil massage before anything else and that the masseur's TIPS. will depend upon his massage skills; I've been disappointed but seldom: AGAYA PARLOR, by Boss Mnsn.,(?)., on Rama IV. rd. rings a bell. 3.- Giving a good & thorough massage is hard physical work, as I've found-out from massaging my present tee rak! But I'll allow that I'm an untrained amateur and doubtless a professionally trained masseur would do a better job with LESS effort. -- Candidly I'd prefer to pay a parlor's rates & TIPS. in a comparatively safer environment rather than try picking-up a cheaper option from the streets or from a sauna and going to some short-time hotel - but that's just me, of course. Looking back I'd write that I've enjoyed only one bad experience in a massage parlor - that was in EVE HOUSE on S'wong. rd.. -- But I guess that the bottom line is that it's a matter of whatever floats yr. boat.

I was at Saladaeng Massage this evening (with a long line of police in riot gear across the street infront of Saladaeng Hotel, sitting on the wall) and enjoyed an oil massage for Bht400 and great extras from a cute lad from Kalasin.
I noted while walking through soi Twilight also this evening, that the boys in yellow shirts do massage at yet another massage place in that soi called Xcite... I think that's now 4 massage places there. Seemed good boys to me.

-- Maybe three or so weeks ago my enthusiastic & American friend and I were enjoying an early & evening's drink in DICK'S CAFE, wch. is roughly opposite to the Pool Hall in Soi Twilight. - Sitting out in front of the Hall was a gp. of yellow shirted young men, one of whom - attractive in an ugly sort of way - was making it all to obvious what he had in mind for either or for both of us. - I asked for and was given their tariff - from memory prices seemed to be about usual. -- Agreed, Soi Twilight now supports four massage parlors: BKK. MASSAGE, BUNNY MASSAGE, MARIO'S MASSAGE, (was RED MASSAGE.], & XCITE MASSAGE - quite spoilt for choice, aren't we?
