1. Tipping the Papasan:
Standard Procedure: It's not uncommon for the papasan (or manager) to expect a tip, especially if you’ve had a chat or asked for specific services or girls. While it’s not always mandatory, tipping is appreciated.
Appropriate Amount: For a standard soapy massage, a tip of 100 to 300 baht is typical. Since you gave 300 baht, you were within a reasonable range. If you’re unsure, a tip around 10-15% of the total cost of the service is a good starting point.
2. Drinks During the Session:
Normal Practice: Offering drinks is a common practice in soapy massage establishments. It’s often part of the service experience, and the cost of drinks might be added to your bill.
Refusing Drinks: You can refuse drinks if you prefer not to have them, but make sure to do so politely. You could say something like, “I’m fine for now, thank you.” In many places, it’s acceptable to decline additional services if you don’t want them.
3. Price and Additional Costs:
Transparency: Ensure you understand all the costs involved before you agree to services. This includes asking about any extra charges for drinks or tips. Some places might have a fixed price that includes all, while others might add extras.
Avoiding Overcharges: If you feel like you’re being ambushed or overcharged, it’s okay to ask for clarification. Politely inquire about any additional fees before agreeing to them.
Summary of Your Experience:
Papasan Tip: Your tip of 300 baht was generous and should cover expectations. If the papasan seemed unhappy, it might have been due to miscommunication or a misunderstanding.
Drink Costs: Drinks are often expected, but you can refuse them if you prefer. Make sure you’re clear on whether drinks are included in the initial price or if they are an extra charge.
Overall, it sounds like you had a good experience with the soapy massage itself, which is the most important aspect. Just keep these tips in mind for future visits to make sure you’re comfortable with the process and avoid any confusion.
