14、all.” All this time you have been thinking one thing, “How much should I tip(付小费) him?” To make your next trip a little easier, heres a guide to tipping across some Asian countries.BangkokIn general, the more Westernized the place is, the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip. Some top-end
15、 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 youre eating at a lower-end(低档的) restaurant a tip is not necessary. If youre staying at one of Bangkoks many five-star hotels, expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 ba
16、ht(泰国货币单位), depending on how many bags you have. Taxis are now metered in Bangkok. Local custom is to round the fare(车费) up to the nearest five baht.Hong KongTipping 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
17、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 HK $20 bill may be more acceptable. When in a taxi, round up(凑整数) to the nearest dollar.K
18、uala LumpurTipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel room.

19、t(马来西亚货币单位) will content a porter. At lower-end buildings dont feel you have to tip. Like Bangkok, many taxis are now metered so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit.SeoulTipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10% serv
20、ice charge is often added. If youre at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处), theres no need to add anything extra. But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution. If youre at a top-end hotel, so expect to pay 5001 000 won per bag. Taxi drivers dont accept a tip. Keep the change for yourself.51
