In 2024 Pattaya or Bangkok?

"...personally I'd transfer the beer & off fee tips to him to make it 300."

I see your reasoning but that would be a mistake. A reputation as someone who pays his fair share to everyone will serve you well. If I walk in and go for a pee when I get back to the bar my table is already set up with beer, ice, glass and ashtray. You want the hosts to tell the boy to take care of you. They really don't need your 150 for a beer so it's better all round if they like you but it's mostly better for you. Pre-Covid, Royal House welcomed me into a private party and gave me a plate of bbq pork.

If you want to tip the boy 300 then spend 800 instead of 700 and I did that on one occasion.
