Tipping in Restaurants and Bars
- In Thai restaurants, it is customary to tip around 10-15% of the bill.
- You can round up the bill in bars and cafes or leave a small tip each time you order a drink.
- For exceptional service, consider giving a slightly higher tip to your waiter or waitress.
Tipping in Hotels
- When staying in a hotel in Thailand, it’s standard practice to tip between 10-20%.
- In high-end hotels, you may want to tip various staff members such as maids, bellboys, valets, and front desk employees based on the service received.
Tipping for Transportation
- For longer journeys or assistance with luggage, consider tipping around 10%.
- For short journeys, rounding up the bill to the nearest significant amount in Thai baht is common practice.
Tipping Tour Guides
- A standard tip of 10% is appropriate for tour guides in Thailand.
- Even on free tours operating on a ‘pay what you like’ basis, tipping is appreciated as it may be the guide’s only income.
Tipping for Massage Services
- Budget around 10-15% of the treatment price as a tip for your massage therapist.
- Consider leaving a higher tip for outstanding service.
Whether you are dining out, staying in a hotel, using transportation services, going on tours, or getting a massage in Thailand, tipping is a gesture of appreciation for good service. Remember to always use the local currency when tipping to save money on currency exchange fees.
