    Tip for the driver

    I've booked a car from BKK to Pattaya for 1200Bt. Given that I'm watching my satang this trip, what would be a fair tip for the driver? I would normally tip 200Bt. Would 100 be ok? Don't want to start my holiday with bad karma.

    Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.

    Doesn't matter, as you will never see him again in your life, most likely.

    I'd personally tip, but up to you.

    And why are you coming to Thailnd for vacation if you're so budget strapped, you need to watch an extra 100 baht spend?

    Are you mad? 50 baht, tops

    Re: Tip for the driver

    Matt, I booked my holiday some months ago, when my finances were okay. My circumstances since then have changed. So I'm going to have be more conscious of what I'm spending, without missing out on too much fun. Short of funds - remind you of anyone? I don't need a lot of sex on my holiday, so won't be spending lots on offing boys.

    100 Baht is adequate assuming a safe ride.
