1) To be stingy is a sign of good character, as it means you are self reliant even on a rainy day and I think every one should be this way.

I am not quite sure I agree with this statement. Thrifty would be more apt. Tightwad, tightfisted, go along with stingy.

When drinking with a group there is always one person who will happily take all the drinks offered by other members of the group but then has a real problem putting his hand in his pocket when it's his turn to buy. That's stingy.

My better half inteprets the above 3 expressions as; 1 & 3 stingy, 2 bird poo, literal meaning but taken to mean not real farang, joke, like a TV comedy, not necessarily bad but not to be taken seriously.
