I think a lot of forummers here think that all forummers here are European/Americans. You must understand that European/Americans have very strong currency so 2000 baht to 5000 baht is chicken feed to them as it is around 100 USD or so. Morever, their median monthly salary is high.
However, we asians who have much lower exchange rate feel the pinch of paying 2000 baht just for half an hour.
Even the median daily salary rate in Thailand is only 40-50 baht (Correct me if I am wrong). So 2000 baht is about 50 times the daily rate.

With respect to ICON's comment I'll adjust my last line above as follows:
'The
rich farang who overtip, sometimes ridiculously high tips, and the Japanese do spoil the market'. (Regarding the Japanese, ask around about the very high tips handed out in Soi Thaniya from Japanese customers.)
