When to tip for better service when traveling in Cambodia?

Cambodia is located in the southern part of the Central South Peninsula in Asia. France once occupied Cambodia and built some buildings with French flavor. In addition, Cambodia's geographic location has a lot of unique natural scenery. The French-style buildings, time-honored historical sites, and strange natural landscapes have brought a great deal of excitement to tourists who come to Cambodia.

However, because Cambodia was occupied by European countries, Cambodia has a lot of customary behaviors of western countries, such as tipping. Whether you go to a restaurant to eat, or stay in a hotel, you need to tip the service staff. So, when to tip to be able to enjoy better service?

One, when you go through the border, give some tips to be able to quickly go through the border. Traveling abroad, you have to go through some barriers. Crossing the barrier, need to line up a long time, need to check the luggage. A series of behaviors will delay a lot of time. However, when you travel to Cambodia, give some tips to the staff checking the barriers, you will not be looking for trouble, and you will be able to cross the border quickly. It's worth it to spend some small money to avoid some trouble.

The second thing is to give a proper tip before you are served to get a better service. When you stay in a hotel, the staff will take your luggage for you. If you give the staff a tip when they receive your luggage, he will be more considerate. When you go to a restaurant, tipping the wait staff will help you get your meal on time. If you don't tip when everyone else is tipping, you're likely to be slowed down.

Third, how much is the right amount to tip? The local currency in Cambodia is the Riel, which has a relatively large denomination but is not worth much. Generally speaking, the tip for drivers and service staff is 1000R or 2000R. However, many places take US dollars, and you have to give 1USD or 2USD.

When to tip? How much to tip? Depends on what service you want. If your request is more difficult to fulfill, tip a little more. Typically, only give $1.
