They know that a happy customer is a generous customer (sometimes) and, with luck, a repeat customer. I've been to other tourist-oriented places where they want your money but they hate you for it and basically wish you'd stay home and mail the money to them. Thailand isn't like that, in my opinion.
I liked your line that you tipped him 2500 because you wanted to. That's the spirit. In case you're wondering, in my opinion that was generous but not outrageous, though I'm sure others will disagree. I'm sure you feel you got your money's worth. Hope you continue to have fun; it should be easier now that you've gotten your...um..."feet" wet.
