When traveling in Cambodia, when can you get better service by tipping?

Cambodia is located in the southern part of the Indochina Peninsula in Asia. France once invaded Cambodia and built some buildings with a French flavor. In addition, Cambodia has a strategic location and many unique natural scenery. French-style buildings, time-honored historical relics, and bizarre natural scenery have shocked the hearts of tourists visiting Cambodia.

However, because Cambodia was occupied by European countries, Cambodia has many customary behaviors in Western countries, such as collecting tips. Whether you go to a restaurant to eat or stay in a hotel, you need to tip the service staff. So, when do you tip to get better service?

First, when passing the customs, give some tips to pass the customs quickly. When traveling abroad, you have to pass some hurdles. To pass the customs, you need to wait in a long queue and check your luggage. A series of actions will waste a lot of time. However, when you travel to Cambodia, if you give some tips to the checkpoint staff, you will avoid getting into trouble and you will be able to pass the customs quickly. It's worth spending a little money to avoid some trouble.

Second, tip appropriately before being served to get better service. If you stay in a hotel, the staff will help you carry your luggage. When the staff receives your luggage, if you give him a tip, he will be more considerate. When you go to a restaurant to eat, tip the wait staff a little to get your meal served on time. When everyone is tipping, if you don't tip, you are likely to be ignored.

Third, how much tip is appropriate? The common currency in Cambodia is Riel, which has a relatively large face value but is not valuable. Generally speaking, the tip for drivers and service staff is 1000R or 2000R. However, many places accept US dollars, so you have to pay US$1 or US$2.

When to tip? How much to tip? Depends on what service you want. If your request is difficult to meet, tip a little more. Normally, only $1 is required.
