Can you elaborate on this? What is the tipping culture like in Thailand?

I presume you mean in Mexico that since everything is all-inclusive, the only real payment is tips so it strongly affects service quality.

Tipping in Thailand is not much of a thing. The service greatly suffers from this. If you do go into a 5-star hotel in the city they tend to attract a crowd that expects tips. This is where you can find really good service. The people were always pleasant, just not very motivated to serve you.

Everywhere I've been in Mexico the service has been top notch. In all inclusives you are still expected to tip the people.
