Why can't Thailand tip with coins?

Thailand is now a country that vigorously develops tourism, and many China tourists are very excited because of its low consumption. We all know that people who are willing to travel to Thailand will have the habit of tipping, but when tipping, it is best not to give coins, or you will get into big trouble.

In fact, in some Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries, tipping is necessary, because when you tip, you will find that you can enjoy better service. After all, their wages are pitiful, and they can only earn a higher income by earning tips to ensure the quality of life. Of course, after tipping, they will serve more attentively, and then you will enjoy it more.

However, tipping is a very casual thing, but Thais think that giving coins is insulting them, because coins are rewarded to beggars in Thai culture, so if you force other service personnel, they will think that you are insulting him and disrespecting him. Then the tip you give will not be better enjoyed, but will be treated worse.

But in fact, there is no need to tip anywhere in Thailand. For example, you don't have to tip when you buy snacks on the streets of Thailand. Because you bought something and left, there is no service, so you don't have to tip. However, if you eat in a restaurant, you must tip, because there are waiters who serve you specially. If the service charge is included in your bill, you don't have to tip.

You also need to tip when staying in a hotel, because the hotel cleaning staff will see if you tip when cleaning the room. If you put 20 baht on the pillow after getting up, you will find your room very clean when you return to it.

So in fact, it's just spending money to buy one's own comfort. But you should pay more attention to people's taboos and emotions, and don't really give coins, which makes people feel that you are insulting them.
