Tipping · 🇰🇭
Tipping in Cambodia
Customary: 5%–10%. 5–10% is appreciated. US dollars circulate alongside riel.
At restaurants
What is customary: A share of the bill, at any size
Worked example
On a ៛200,000.00 bill, 5% is ៛10,000.00, so you would hand over ៛210,000.00.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about ៛20,000.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Expected — guiding is a tipped job here. US dollars circulate and are fine.
The money
Cambodia uses the Cambodian Riel (KHR). Today 1 USD is 4,041.53 KHR.
Tipping in other countries
