Answer
Tipping in Khao Lak is appreciated but not mandatory. It's common to leave small amounts, especially in restaurants, where rounding up the bill or leaving a 10% tip is a nice gesture.
• In hotels, you might consider tipping housekeeping or bell staff if they've provided exceptional service. A small tip of 20 to 50 baht is generally well-received.
• For tour guides and drivers, a tip can reflect your satisfaction with their service. Usually, 100-200 baht per person for a day trip is a good guideline, depending on the experience.
