💡 General Tipping Etiquette
Temples are free, but it is polite to leave a few thousand riel in the contribution boxes often found at entrances.
🍽️ Restaurants
10 % of the bill is a fair amount. Some restaurants add about 7 % as service charge, but it is not clear, how much will go to the servers. Keep in mind that a server only earns about 100 $ per month.
🚕 Taxis
Not necessary if price is negotiated beforehand (also for for tuk tuk and moto drivers), otherwise a couple of leftover riels are always appreciated
🏨 Hotels
Tipps are appreciated due to the low salaries, 1 $ per bag or transfer for bellhops and 1$ per night for cleaning staff
👨🌾Tour guides
Don’t ever feel obliged to tip for poor service; however, if they have pulled off an impressive performance and made your trip informative and fun, but a little extra in the end for a good tour is appreciated (10 %).
