The porter brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains all you want to know. Then he points to the phone and says: “If there’s anything else you need, just call. ”All this time you have been thinking one thing: “How much should I tip(付小費(fèi)) him? ”To make your next trip a little easier, here’s a guide to tipping across some Asian countries.

Bangkok.

In general, the more Westernized the place is, the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip. Some top-end restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If not, waiters will appreciate you tacking  on(附加) the 10% yourself. However, If you’re eating at a lower-end(低檔的) restaurant a tip is not necessary. If you’re staying at one of Bangkok’s many five-star hotels, expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht, depending on how many bags you have. Taxis are now metered in Bangkok. Local custom is to round the fare(車(chē)費(fèi)) up to the nearest five baht.

Hong Kong

Tipping is customary in this money-mad metropolis(大都市). Most restaurants add a 10% service charge to the bill, but the extra money often ends up in the pocket of the owner. If the service is good, add another 10% to the bill, up to HK $100 in an especially nice restaurant. For HK $10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotels where a new KH $20 bill may be more acceptable. When in a taxi, round up(湊整數(shù)) to the nearest dollar.

Kuala Lumpur

Tipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel room. If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service charge. But at local restaurants, there’s no need to add a tip. At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will content a porter. At lower-end buildings don’t feel you have to tip. Loke Bangkok, many taxis are now metered(打表) so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit.

Seoul

Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where 10% service charge is often added. If you’re at a Korean barbecue joint(燒烤處), there’s no need to add anything extra. But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution. If you’re at a top-end hotel, so expect to pay 1 000 Won per bag. Taxi drivers don’t accept a tip. Keep the change for yourself.

1. Most expensive restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill.

2.Though tipping is not allowed, people who have served you accept tips in a certain way.

3.Culturally, tipping is unnecessary, but customers sometimes pay service charge when checking out.

4. If you want to get loyal service, you should give a tip more than 10%.

5.You ae not expected to pay tips at a low class hotel.

A

Bangkok （曼谷） There are no established rules of tipping in Bangkok, capital of Thailand. Some places expect it; others don’t. In general, the more westernized the place is, the more likely you’ll be expected to leave a tip.

   Restaurants: Some expensive restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If not, waiters will appr eciate your increasing by 10% yourself. However, if you’re eating at a cheap eatery, a ti is not necessary.

   Porters: At Bangkok’s many five-star hotels, you’re expected to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht(銖), depending on how many bags you have.

   Taxis: Taxis are now metered in Bangkok, so there’s no bargaining over your fare. The local custom is to round the fare up to the nearest five baht.

 B

Jakarta （雅加達(dá)）  Tipping is not part of the Indonesian culture, but international influences have turned some westernized palms upward in search of a few extra rupiah (盧比).

   Restaurants: A 10% service charge is added at most high-end restaurants. At moderately priced restaurants, 5,000 rupiah should do it---if the service is superb, add an extra 1,000 rupiah or so.

   Porters: Pay a few hundred rupiah for each bag.

   Taxis: Most drivers will automatically round up to the next 500 rupiah. Some will claim they have no change and will bleed you for more. Don’t accept anything more than a 1,000-rupiah increase.

C

Kuala Lumpur （吉隆坡）  Like Indonesia, tipping in Malaysia is only common in the expensive westernized joints, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel bill.

   Restaurants: If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service charge or add the same amount yourself. But at local stalls, there’s no need to add a tip.

   Porters: At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit(林吉特) will be enough. At low-end establishments, you are not forced to tip.

   Taxis: Many taxis are now metered, so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit. In unmetered taxis, expect a session of hard bargaining for the ride.

D

Manila （馬尼拉）  Tipping is common in Manila, the Philippines, and anything above 10% will gain you long-lasting loyalty.

   Restaurants: Even if a service charge is included, it is a custom to add another 5%-10% to the bill.

   Porters: Service in top hotels is good and should be rewarded with 20% pesos(比索) per bag.

   Taxis: Most taxis are metered, and rounding up to the next five pesos is a good rule of taking taxis.

E

Seoul   Tipping is not part of the Korean culture, although it has become a rule in international hotels where a 10% service charge is often added.

   Restaurants: If you are at a Korean barbecue (燒烤店), there’s no need to add anything extra. But a luxury Italian restaurant may require a 10% service charge.

   Porters: If you are at a top-end hotel, international standards apply, so expect to tip 500-1,000 won per bag.

   Taxis: Drivers don’t expect a tip, so unless you’re feeling remarkably generous, keep the change for yourself.

F

Singapore City   According to government rules in the Lion City, tipping is a no-no. It’s basically outlawed at Changi Airport and officials encourage tourists to neglect the 10% service charge that many high-end hotels add to the bill.

   Restaurants: Singaporeans tend not to leave tips, especially at the outdoor eateries. Nicer restaurants do sometimes charge a 10% service fee, but there’s no need to supplement that.

   Porters: Hotel staff are the one exception to the no-tipping rule. As a general guide, S$1 would be enough for baggage-lugging service.

   Taxis: Drivers don’t expect tips, but they won’t refuse if you want to round up the fare to the next Singaporean dollar.
