Tip in Thailand? The complete guide to tipping in Thailand!

In this video I'm going to try and answer the question; 'Should I tip in Thailand?' And if so, how much should you be tipping in Thailand?

In the US and UK leaving a tip for reasonable to good service is pretty much expected. This is not really the case in Bangkok, and especially the poorer Thai provinces.

Note. When thinking about the amounts of money suggested remember that the average salary in Thailand is low compared to Western standards. According to Trading Economics, Thailand's average monthly wage in Q1/2018 was 13,721 baht/month.

These days I follow what I have been taught by my wife and close Thai friends. This is what I have learned.

I'm Thai. Even it's not our kulture, I tip sometime the person when I feel good with the service, or left the changes there. It's about leaving a message that they did a good job. The amount is also 20-50 baht. Once I gave 100 and regreted later for overtiped (for me), then it's not a good sign. Thank you for the tips, it' s useful.

Not tipping for a cheap delious street-food as a tourist is pure evil....
