Tipping, how and how much?
I was surprised to learn about the low rate of small dollars, and immediately a question arose. And then what about tips? It is generally customary to give them in Thailand, and if so, how much is usually left for tea and in what bills. It is clear that in the restaurant this is baht, but somehow I got used to leaving a small baksota to the maids, but here it turns out that it is not held in high esteem. Please advise. Share. Thanks in advance to everyone.

All tips were left in baht, depending on the situation, 10,20,30 ... porters in Pattaya and 10 baht was enough, the masseuse left 20 baht and she was happy. In restaurants, about 5% of the bill.

Yes, any bills but not coins, as far as I understand, this is not accepted there. Take dollars in large bills 50,100 there the rate depends on the bills hired, the smaller the bill, the lower the rate, a good rate is $ 1 -30.9 baht. Change in the city in exchange offices from a bank or at a travel agency, in hotels the rate is very low, you can change a little at the airport for the first time.

So as not to get confused - the situations and the amount of tips are the same as in Ukraine, maybe a little less - but everyone has their own. There are no banknotes of 10 baht, but everyone likes a coin (and 2 coins like it even more :))).

Leave a bill of 20 baht every other day on the pillow for the maids. It is their custom.

disagree. In Thailand, even change is given up to a quarter of baht. Tips are generally not accepted here and no one will be offended if you do not give them. At least in Pattaya so. And if you give, then, of course, they will not refuse :))))

I don’t understand where it’s accepted either. It’s in Egypt that the Russians taught service personnel to tip. in Tae it’s not strong yet .... I won’t even pick a word so as not to offend. if you like the service, you can leave as much as you want. but Anatoly is right, they give change to the penny. If you leave even a trifle, they will say thank you.

by the way, they also take dollars and euros and even cents and say thank you! but when we leave, we always leave 100-200 baht in small bills.

But there are enough arrogant porters, in Bangkok the porter stated in the forehead that he should be given 20 baht.
Yes, we didn’t meet impudent maids and waiters, but there are generally accepted norms in terms of tips, and it’s up to everyone to leave them or not.

neither in sky bike, nor even in bangkok palace, such a thing has NEVER happened. for 11 years of trips to Tai, we have never encountered rudeness and arrogance. why do we go there, because I can’t even imagine a Thai slapping my ass (I’m 56 years old) and saying hello. The Russians have not yet completely spoiled them and taught them nasty things.

Everything is very simple and this is how most Europeans do it, I settled on this option: because. I don’t need swans and any nonsense, because it’s much easier to do it yourself and not waste your nerves - lately I leave a tip only after the rest, if I liked the service during the rest period, I leave, for example, $ 10 ... and that’s all))). And to leave every day - I think this is not right. it turns out one day did not leave - and you have srach in the room? I do not agree with this. And this is how the quality of service is checked and brought up, and indeed ...

what dollars and euros?! Thailand is not Turkey, respects its currency, only baht. If, upon checking into the hotel, you are escorted and carried to the room with a bag - 20 baht tip is the rule. In other cases, really, it is not required. But as they say, everyone loves a tip. Just don’t insult with iron trifles, nothing at all is better.
