Nice to see a fresh subject on BTF.and i commend your desire to help.
I had heard that they receive 10% of the total treatment. ie $2 for a $20 treatment.
I always tip and then wonder if they are lucky to be able to keep all the tips and not part some over to the boss!
Having massages and treatments in Bali is invaluable to me. I wish I had enough Balinese language to let the girls know just how important their work is to their clients. So nurturing and a much needed de stress from Western life.
Give what you feel comfortable giving so that it always remains a pleasure to give. Would you specify a time frame. ie two weeks until after she returns to work? maybe you can "adopt" her and establish a long term friendship.
I would like to see more posts regarding this subject.
