Most guys tend to leave a tip when paying their drinks bill, and this is usually around 20-40 Baht from my experience.
I tend to tip similar amounts to hotel staff, although will often give the room maids 100 Baht or more if they look after me.
In more upmarket restaurants, I would generally tip 10% of the bill or thereabouts, but it's very much a personal thing.

These sites also come in handy for learning a bit about the customs of the country and things you should and shouldn't do. As well as a lot of good general info.

Don't tip 100 - 150 baht at the end of a bar session or you will mark yourself as a first time falang newbie, and you will be seen in a whole different light.
Sorry I dont get you here you said you put 100 under the tray on occasion then you said dont tip 100-150 baht
I get the point about being seen in a different light, people coud try to take advantage

if you leave a tip on the silver tray, it goes back to the cashier.
some bars pool this money, others, the cashier keeps it all.
if a girl has looked after you all night, and you want to tip her personally, put any tip you want to give into her hand . not the tray.

thats what you get charged for the toilet, as it is seen as a tip.
20 baht is more than enough in general .
although, if you have sat on your arse all night in the same bar, with one girl looking after you, it would be right to bung her 100.
but into her hand.

I felt a bit guilty when I only tipped this taxi driver 20 Baht for a an Hour journey but I was annoyed at the time, as one of the motorcycle taxis said he would take me to his friend who would do the trip for a certain price and when I got over to his friend he asked for more, I dont like this type of situation, just tell me a price and I will sya yes or no
