]]> Comment on To tip or not to tip: that is the question by Lambella http://www.huahinblog.com/2007/08/to-tip-or-not-to-tip-that-is-the-question/#comment-118 Lambella Wed, 08 Aug 2007 06:27:54 +0000 http://www.huahinblog.com/2007/08/04/to-tip-or-not-to-tip-that-is-the-question/#comment-118 When mum was with us and we needed help with her wheelchair, I always tipped the tuk tuks because they did go out of their way. Now that the fare has gone up from 80 baht to a 100 baht, I don't tip either. And you're right. I tip in a restaurant when the food and service are worthy. If they have a service charge, I generally don't tip. Thanks for your words of advise though. It helps to know someone else's thinking on the subject.

Will only tip in a restaurant if the food and service have been worthy and never tip at hotels that have service charge - they're already taking their tip without asking! Personal service such as massage, caddy, haircut etc always get a tip.

I have also noticed that the practice of ''dumping'' rubbish in any freespace in Hua Hin is quite prevalent e.g beside the rail tracks, etc. A real wake-up call is required before it is too late!!
