The Mamasan — gatekeeper, negotiator, peacekeeper, and sometimes straight-up pimp.

Some guys slide her a tip to get access to the better girls. Others do it to build trust. And some won’t tip her a single baht, believing it’s just part of the hustle.

So… what’s your take?

Do you tip the Mamasan when you walk in? Only if she helps? Only after?
Does it get you better treatment — or just mark you as a sucker?

Let’s hear how you handle the queen behind the curtain.

Tipping the mamasan is like giving your dealer a Christmas bonus — you don’t have to, but you’ll get the better product next time.

I usually tip 100–200 baht if I’m planning to barfine. It’s not about generosity — it’s strategy. A small tip now means:

  • She remembers you

  • She’ll steer better girls your way

  • She’ll handle any “she’s busy” nonsense with a quiet override

But I don’t tip every time. Only when I need her help, or if I plan to return to the same bar often. You don’t want to set expectations with someone who doesn’t actually help you.

Bottom line: tip smart, not automatically.
