Tipping · 🇹🇭
Tipping in Thailand
Customary: 5%–10%. Not expected. Round up, or leave a little at sit-down restaurants.
At restaurants
What is customary: Not expected — welcome, but nobody is counting
Worked example
On a ฿1,000.00 bill, 5% is ฿50.00, so you would hand over ฿1,050.00.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about ฿300.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Appreciated rather than expected. On a day trip the driver is tipped separately and less.
The money
Thailand uses the Thai Baht (THB). Today 1 USD is 33.2592 THB.
Tipping in other countries
Customs vary by region, by venue and over time. Use your judgement and your eyes.
