Lets call it what it is It's not a tip
Call it what you like but the bottom line is its payment for sex (prostitution). A tip is given in any business for exceptional service. I don't tip in a restaurant if I get lousy food or lousy service. The money we pay is for sex for sale. "payment for sexual services" the only thing is that, usually what we give them is a sort of grey area in terms of how much. The off fee is fair for the bar and the Farang as he doesn't have to do any ground work he just selects by number. Prostitution at its worst.
I have my own scale of payment which I follow
1,000 bt for a 2 or 3 hours. A lot of boys can't wait to get away.
1,000 bt for an all nighter with a tip of 300 / 500 bt if they were good
Long term for BS I give 30,000 for a one month holiday plus all the goodies like a bit of shopping drinks and meals.
I would be very interested to know what all you guys think is fair and what you would pay for services. and do you really believe it's a tip you are giving them

Nonsense. You can call it a tip but someone else should not ?.

With that sort of 'generosity' it is little wonder the boys can't wait to get away.
How do you equate 2-3 hours with an all-nighter for the same payment?

Why are we not surprised?
Not so much the money ...
... as the customer's personality as evident from the post
... all this, and an ABF, to boot!
allieb said "The all nighter gets...fed in the morning in a cafe" Not being critical of you personally here, allie, but my thoughts:
One of the interesting things I've read here on the board (not that I'm proud to say I've gone back through dozens of pages of past postings) as well as conversations with Thai friends and acquaintances is that many times the boy isn't all that thrilled to go to breakfast with their client the next morning. For one, it makes their work life (and sometimes faux "gay" life) public. Also, many times they have someplace else to be in the morning (classes, family obligations, mainstream work) and just don't have the time to go. Add to that their choice of and "American Breakfast" vs johk or khao tom and you have ample reasons to not think that breakfast is a good as an increase in a cash tip.
And face it: I'm guessing that many times for many boys sometimes the "boss" isn't all that appealing to begin with, and it's nice to clock out and go home! It's a job, after all. In all of my trips there I haven't offed a boy (so far), but if I did I'd like to think I'd tip well. $10US isn't nearly as dear to a farang on vacation as it is to a Thai living a far humbler existence.
Elementary my dear watson

I agree with naughty but nice
1,000 to 1250 short time,and 1,500 to 2,000 long time.Im more to the upper range as Im on vacation and im looking to waste money.Buying breakfast is silly as they are simply uncomfortable,Im sure they rather have a couple hundred baht instead of breakfast.

I don't think 1250 short time, or 2000 long time is enough for the star boys (those very popular boys) or the boys at specialty bars (such as Tawan). Most of these boys want to know how much you will pay before they agree to go with you. Of course you can try to bargain, but to me, that ruin the fun of the whole thing. :cyclopsani:

Lets see, time is time. Go home with 0 Baht or go home with the best bargain a guy can get. Isn't it like airline seats or hotel rooms? Once customer goes, no chance of filling pocket with extra Baht. In the end, it is the laws of demand and supply. I guess if a guy is popular, then he knows that he does not need to bargain since there will be another customer who is willing to pay his asking price. A no so popular guy?
Simple my dear Watson. It is economics.
sorry ill learn how to use the quote thing soon
I agree with bgenius here,it doesnt matter if you have sex or not ,you must still pay the boy.With that in mind Id be carefull about committing myself to one boy for an extended duration as his performance will likely dwindle over time.Im going in a week to Pattaya and Ill find someone,probably a different one everother day.I guess if I find a great one I like maybe I will stay for a week or so If Im lucky.
Tip or -payment for services rendered?
Call it whatever you please I'm happy to pay it and happier that there are nice smooth cute looking thai guys willing to accept it.
