most of it the tipps are way too high

At Restaurants: we just dine in small restaurants and street kitchen but I usually give about 20 THB tip

At Hotels: 20 THB per bag is a common rate even in the higher priced hotels. Just keep in mind that the staff at the hotel usually earns about 300 to 400 THB a day

Guides and Drivers: for a normal taxi ride just add to next full 10 THB. when I take a taxi to the airport I usually give between 30 and 50 THB tip

Who Else?: it depends on the kind of "massage" you get ... . 100 THB for a normal massage seems a lot ot me, but I have no experience in that

Dollars Accepted?: sorry, I never have $ with me in Thailand ...
