Lenny Can you tell us the URL for that web site? It has been my experience that most Thai people prefer and appreciate a cash gift more than anything else. They don't look at a cash gift the same way we do. They see it as an opportunity to buy what they want. Many times a well-meaning "farang" brings a gift and what ends up happening is the recipient smiles, acts very grateful for it, and gets rid of it after the "farang" leaves.

It seems from your post that you have not met him before. Therefore, my suggestion is that you use his guide service and then tip him appropriately for the level of service he provides. The better he is as a guide, the bigger the tip. Most Thai guys prefer the money anyway (unless of course they have asked you in advance to bring something particular for them). It is most unusual to bring a gift for someone whom one has never met. Thai tastes are different from falang anyway, and even then individual tastes vary - better the cash then he can decide for himself. Would be interested to hear a report from you on his service and his contact details, in due course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest namjai Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 If you are coming in from the states, a pair of Levi 501's size 28 waist and 30 length is always a "happy gift"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
