Although we in China have no habit of tipping at all, tipping culture is an extremely important part of the service industry in most western countries.

In Thailand, all service industries such as catering, accommodation and taxis have the habit of tipping. The lowest denomination note in Thailand is 20 baht (about RMB 4 yuan). Many times, 20 baht is enough. Usually no coins are given. So when you change money, you should prepare 20 baht, 50 baht, 100 baht.

More importantly, if you take a photo with the banshee, the tip is between 20- 100 baht, depending on your mood; When enjoying Thai thick soup, it will also be given according to the degree and comfort of massage, about 50- 100 baht; If you go to a bar, you'd better bring more, and you should also provide food, wine and other services according to the type, giving 20,50, 100 baht ~

In Indonesia, tipping is a habit. You can't give coins. In the hotel, the cost of each piece of luggage and cleaning the room is 5000- 10000 rupees (2.5-5 yuan RMB). If it is a star-rated hotel, it will be increased by 1-2 times. If you rent a car to travel, you will ask. The general contract stipulates that one person pays 40,000 rupees (20 yuan/person). If you rent a car for two people, you have to give the driver 80 thousand rupees. You don't have to pay the taxi fare, because it is already included in the price ~ When eating in the restaurant, pay attention to whether the service charge of 10%- 15% is added to the bill (generally). If so, it means that the tip is included and does not need to be given separately. If not, it depends on the quality of service ~

Malaysia has a tipping culture, because most hotels and restaurants will add 10% service tax to their bills, so there is no need to pay separately. To show gratitude or be very satisfied with the service, you can give 5- 10 Malaysian ringgit (about 8- 16 RMB). For example, you can give a small sum of money to the bellboy who helps with the luggage, or leave a little tip on the pillow every two or three days (the bellboy will think that you didn't put it away, but gave it to him) and give it to the room cleaner.

Many people used to say that Southeast Asian countries would always be forced to accept tips from China people, but in fact, this tip is unnecessary. Many of our consulates are starting to make trouble. Please don't give it to us when you go through the customs next time. If the customs forces you to collect it, please pretend you don't understand or collect evidence and report it to the embassy, but remember not to conflict with them ~

Europe is the birthplace of tipping culture, and later Europeans brought this habit to North America. But after development, the tipping culture in North America is even stronger than that in Europe. Now in Europe, tipping is considered a threat.
