How does tipping work in Thailand?

Tipping in Thailand is appreciated but not mandatory, with customs varying slightly based on the situation. Here's a breakdown:

1. Restaurants:

- Casual Eating: Tipping isn't expected; rounding up the bill or leaving small change (10-20 baht) is common.

- Mid-Range Restaurants: A tip of 5-10% of the bill is typical if service was good. Check for a service charge.

2. Bars and Nightclubs:

- Tipping is less common, but leaving small tips (20-50 baht) or rounding up your total is welcomed.
