By the way, is Proud 66 staffed only with boys? Or mixed male and female service providers?

Their peers know what is going on for sure...but I agree it is desirable to handover the tip discreetly and away from sight of the owner/boss/boys/customers and others who are likely to try and borrow money from the boy later. What I try and do in such places..Chang included..is give the boy the major tip in the room and Bht100/200 in public as you leave.
In this case, the guy left the room and went downstairs very quickly giving me no chance to reward him privately. But I just shook his hand with a big tip in the palm and gave him Bht200 with the left hand. Only boys available for massage...as far as I have seen.

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.
