So how many expatriates who frequent this board, live in a 3,000 Baht per month apartment ? In the US, where tipping, I understand, is mandatory irrespective of the type of service provided, would we have so many whiners debating whether a $30tip is reasonable or not, for a guy being offed ? If a guy is firm about his rates, he would be named and invite immediate ostracisation on this board ! I am not saying that you should pay the guy more or less - just let not the discussion denigrate into arguments about COLI ( Cost of Living Indices) whether in bahts / satang or $ /cents !
