Do You Give Taxi Money to a BG?

[aiden15632]

When it comes to interactions with bar girls (BG) in Thailand, the topic of whether or not to give taxi money can be a bit nuanced. Personally, I usually give a BG 50 baht for taxi fare, especially if she's been with me for a while or if it’s clear she needs to get home safely. This small gesture can be appreciated and might even foster goodwill.
In the nightlife scene, it's common for BGs to rely on their clients for various forms of support, including transportation costs. Offering a bit of taxi money not only helps them get home but also shows a level of consideration and respect. It’s a modest amount that can make a difference in their day, and it’s generally seen as a polite and considerate act.
However, this practice can vary depending on the context of your relationship with the BG and local customs. Some clients might choose not to provide taxi money, especially if they feel it’s not expected or if the girl is in a position to cover her own fare. On the other hand, in many cases, especially if you’re a regular customer or have developed a rapport, a small contribution can be a nice way to show appreciation.
Ultimately, it’s about balancing personal comfort and generosity with the expectations and norms of the environment you’re in.

Generally speaking, I don’t give taxi money, and if someone specifically asks for it, I won’t provide it. It’s important to set clear boundaries and stick to them, especially when it comes to financial requests. If someone is asking for money for a taxi or other expenses, it’s crucial to evaluate the situation carefully and decide if it aligns with your principles and expectations. Maintaining firm boundaries helps avoid potential complications and ensures that interactions remain respectful and straightforward.

I’ve never been asked for taxi money, but if a girl does in the future, and she was more engaging than just a "starfish," I might consider giving her 50-100 Baht. If she wasn’t worth it or if the experience wasn’t memorable, I’d politely tell her with a smile that she has plenty of money there to catch a taxi and send her on her way.

It's all about balancing respect and boundaries. Offering a small amount in appreciation for a good experience makes sense, but it’s important to set limits to avoid any expectations or misunderstandings.

I guess I would, funny though I've never been asked 'til now.

I usually give a tip, I guess they don't consider it appropriate to ask for taxi mone aswell.



But I must admit I was quite lucky so far, most of the girls were nice, good performers and reasonable in terms of money (not cheap, but value for money). Let's hope for the best in the future.

If she ask for a small sum, like 50 baht I would not care as it does not really matter to my budget and I don't want any hassle. But don't worry I not naive, e.g. I don't pay for the new water buffalo.

Sometimes, if I’m staying down by the river and it’s quite a long journey for the girl to get back, I’ll give her something for a taxi—usually a fair amount to cover her travel. However, if I’m staying around Sukhumvit, where the distances are shorter and more convenient, I won’t typically offer taxi money.

It’s a matter of balancing consideration with practicality. When the travel distance is significant, it’s a nice gesture to help with her return trip, but in more central areas where the commute is shorter, it’s less necessary.
