Before I moved to Thailand 8 years ago, I hate to admit that I did this once.....I did not realize that I did not have enough cash on hand at the time, so I only gave what I had -- a few hundred. There were two differences:
1. I was a semi-regular in the bar and many boys knew me, so the young man in question knew he would probably see me again.
2. The next night, I did indeed return to the bar and gave him the remaining money, which did two things: made me a friend who I still have today AND gained me the trust of his co-workers.
Honesty and integrity do go a long way.
