Year End Bonus

[p1p 3]

Okay, here goes.

We tend to give a couple of cases of Chang beer to the guards to share amongst themselves. Female community workers will receive Khanom of some kind, dressed up nicely in a tin, for them to share with family etc. The overall head guard will receive a bottle of whiskey for himself and some Khanom for his family. He will also get his share from the communal beer pool.

Domestic servants generally receive gifts of clothing, some eats of some kind and a monetary bonus of 1 to 2K Baht, depending on seniority. We might also give some nice keepsake from Farangland, depending if we have been back to the UK or have had visitors bring them over recently. (If the staff had recently started, the bonus would be nearer 500 Baht.)

Note: Bonuses are paid at New Year, not Christmas.
