Why should I put 20 baht under my pillow when traveling in Thailand and staying in a hotel? What will happen if I don't put it down?

Why should I put 20 baht under my pillow when traveling in Thailand and staying in a hotel? What happens if you don't put it down? Because southeast Asian countries have the custom of tipping, this 20 baht is consumption. If you don't put it down, your room may not be so clean. When people really go to Thailand, the local tour guide will remind them that if they stay in a hotel, remember to put 20 baht on the pillow.

Cleaning the room is a basic service of the hotel, and the cost is generally included in the accommodation fee. However, after tipping, many tourists will find that the room will be cleaner, and even pajamas and slippers will be placed neatly. If you tip 20 baht more, you can enjoy better service. Many tourists are still very happy. One more thing, the tour guide specially reminds tourists not to give coins when tipping, because coins are generally given to beggars in Thailand, and tipping the service staff is generally considered an insult, so be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble because of mistakes. 20 baht is the smallest paper money in the local area, and it is generally the most suitable for tipping.

Thailand is a country where tipping culture prevails. When traveling in Thailand, whether you go out by car or ride an elephant at a scenic spot, you should tip the service staff, which is a common rule. However, because there is no such habit in the country where we live, it is still difficult for many China tourists to accept the concept of tipping, so there are many embarrassing things when traveling in Thailand because of tipping. In order to avoid these embarrassments, many people have learned to remember to tip whatever they do. Especially when staying in a hotel, I will put 20 baht under my pillow before going out every morning. 20 baht is equivalent to several yuan, but these yuan can make you enjoy better service.

The tour guide asked you to put the money on the pillow, just because we need to give a certain tip when we travel to Southeast Asia, if you give some money to the local service staff at a certain time. Then you will get unexpected surprises. Usually, the local people who get tips will work harder to serve you. Hotel cleaning staff will clean the room and make your stay more comfortable after receiving the money you left.
