I was surprised to learn about the low rate of small dollars, and immediately a question arose. And then what about tips? It is generally customary to give them in Thailand, and if so, how much is usually left for tea and in what bills. It is clear that in the restaurant this is baht, but somehow I got used to leaving a small baksota to the maids, but here it turns out that it is not held in high esteem. Please advise. Share. Thanks in advance to everyone.

disagree. In Thailand, even change is given up to a quarter of baht. Tips are generally not accepted here and no one will be offended if you do not give them. At least in Pattaya so. And if you give, then, of course, they will not refuse :)))) Farther...

Tipping, I understand your business to give or not. But would it be good form in Egypt to pay, purely on the bill with the service tax? And what kind of tax is this, to whom does it go to the staff or the state? We were in a restaurant in Hurghada "Star fish" on the bill with tax came out 146.5 pounds. Left 150. And then the most interesting. The waiter had the audacity to tell me to wait and open the folder with the money in front of me. And then ask for a tip. this is unquestionably bad behavior. I did not expect from such a famous restaurant.

In this country, life is built on tips. And as you correctly noted, giving them is your business. The fact that they begin to beg is one thing. But if you liked the service, regardless of the service tax, why not reward the employee? Arriving at the hotel one day, the suitcases were left at the reception, the employee decided to show the numbers, and then stood with outstretched hand, he didn’t like a couple of pounds, he wanted to get $ 5. But he just didn’t get them. Farther...

must be given: 1) bell fights (for those who bring your luggage in hotels) 20-40 baht. To snatch luggage from the bottom in order to carry it yourself and not pay a tip is a big mauvais ton 2) on Thai massage, at the rate of 50 baht tips for each hour, they often have a tip the only income, so it's better not to forget everything else is optional, but it is also recommended to tip in restaurants, about 10-15% of the order. The maids can be given once in the middle of the rest (50-100 baht) on ... Farther...

Already checked repeatedly, because. in Egypt was 6 times, it is best to have a calm, even relationship with the maid, in the first place. Every day, leave $ 1 in the room (do not indulge,"appetite comes with eating") and you will have clean towels and a tidy room and they will not rummage through things, but if you took a laptop with you, it's better " put " more reliable. Porters also $ 1. "Do not shine" especially the euro, the Egyptians are impudent and 1 euro=$1. Farther...
