To some, tipping of 500 baht may seem excessive but to others, it may not.
For me, the amount I tip is based on what I feel comfortable. I don't compete with others and I don't really believe in what they call "market rate". Who determines the "market rate"? Who is to say that 5% or 10% or whatever the amount is suppose to be the market rate?
I've been to Bangkok for very many years already. I think since Nataree started some more than 10 years ago. And each time I go for an MP girl, I normally tip 1,000 Baht. The only times I tipped less were when I was with a group in Poseidon VIP rooms. Since all my friends tipped 500 Baht, I also followed suit although I felt a little uncomfortable.
I don't think what I do will spoil any "market" there as I don't think people like me can change the views or expectations of the FLs. At most, the FLs may think it is one of their lucky days and not expect it as a norm in their earnings. They're not that naive lah. The same as in SG when I book an FL from an OKT under the FL Dome Section. My tips ranged from $50 to above $100. But I don't think this will make the FL thinks that it is the norm here in SG, right?
Anyway, now I "fear" to continue my FR. Imagine I already stated tipping the waitress 500 Baht for informing the agogo dancer of my interest. My continuation may upset some bros here.

Bro no worries man, but im still thinking you dun have to tip so much even if u want excellent service or attention, but you are wrong to assume that your high tippings does not affect or spoil the market BUT unless ur filthy rich then of course its a diff. thing
See tis link on what the farangs themselves are complaining abt us Asians jacking up the prices even before tipping
Value for Money at The FARANG Speaks 2 Much
Why does ALL Japaneses have diff. higher pricings in Thailand? How did the Japanese ended up paying much higher prices than most at first?
It also started with customers wanting the best, going all out paying excessively or tipping excessively and the word of mouth starts spreading that this customer from where n where is so damn generous and the enxt customer who happens to be same, they will expect the same...
But jesus tipping the waitress 500 Baht for informing the agogo dancer of your interest?? i jus merely tap the waitress shoulder n ask her, she even went on to tell me which one is available which one cannot bring back...sometimes abit of friendliness n smile will bring the same or even better result then excessive tipping
