The people who whine about others not tipping do the same thing anyway. What about all the poor workers in the Chinese factories who sewed your clothes together for Pennies. You wanna add 30% to your clothes bill to pay them better. We all know nobody would say yes. Everyone is a hypocrite. Believe me. Every single one. They are all just trying to convince you how good they are (via tipping). That’s really all it is, just hypocritical virtue signalers.

When you go for your coffee everyday or weekly so you still leave a tip in the cafe? Yes, every day. Where I go they have great coffee and good service. I like to support them and keep them happy. Delivery guy? - No Cleaners? - Yes Barber? - No, he own the business. Massage? - Yes Lazada delivery? - No Mechanic - Maybe Grab/bolt driver ? - No Do you tip far less now your an expat in Asia rather than a tourist? No I see at least three big factors: - Most important is the quality of service. No tip for bad or average service. - If I pay in cash, it is more likely that I tip. - In some places, like Swensons, if there is a tip box nearby, maybe I tip. If they don't have such box, then likely not.

I agree. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine deferred his pension for a year, thinking that he would get the next April increment, only to discover that he would receive what he was entitled to when he first became eligible. He was well pi$$ed.

Trump criminal case: Full 12-person jury seated in Manhattan
Walker88 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Do you think trump's years of delay tactics just might have something to do with the cases all piling up now? Or should I have stopped after the first 3 words of this post? -

You watch too many movies if you were thinking he had a chance of surviving this lol. Just FYI like 500,000 people yearly die of slipping and falling with a height of 0 meters, a heavily underrated threat and death. If you jump from around 30 meter height, you would be going down with 80km per hour, it is unlikely to survive. Jumps lower than 30 meter can result in failed attempts, IMO people want it to fail if they jump from 10-20 meters. For more info join our walk in Saturdays at the Pattaya Flying Club. -
I’m sure some supported the authoritarian laws suppressing freedom to protest and freedom of assembly that they were told would be used against at people they had been told to hate/fear. Then those same laws were used against themselves. That’s how authoritarianism works. Anyway, you get the first Godwin Gong of the day.

Can a radical proposal save Phuket’s tourism crisis?
spidermike007 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
It does indeed sound like a nightmare, the bottom line is choosing quantity over quality is never a good idea unless you're selling $2 items at a swap meet. Thailand has completely lost sight of the game and their policies are the exact opposite of what one would describe his visionary and wise. -

British man arrested for begging to buy drugs in Koh Pha Ngan
Captain Monday replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Isn’t positive urine test in Thailand considered possession? Maybe he was made to submit a sample and resulted in the purple stain.
