Hey my wife and I just had a massage in HCMC and they were great. They charged $350,000VND!! No problem. Then before we paid they wanted us to rate the massage with a strongly suggested $300,000VND tip for each of us. Is this normal? We don’t mind tipping but that seems excessive. Can anyone explain? TIA

Had a foot massage for 320k plus i gave 100k for tip
if you in america . tipping is a thing why do you need to post when in vietnam just tip or don’t . everything is already cheap if good service tip
100% tips are for happy ending places only.
Not normal. My suggestion is 100k or 200k max each.
I tipped 500k for 2 hrs . A lot cheaper than over here 😂
No tip culture in vietnam.
It really depends on the therapist’s skills and the length of the massage. For a 1–1.5 hour session, a typical tip would be around 150,000–200,000 VND per person. Tipping is always optional and up to you, even if they suggest an amount
I don’t tip that much. Normally I only tip 100,000 to 200,000 Vnd but if the massager is old lady then I tip her more otherwise I don’t tip like 300,000 . The place I went in da nang charged me 600,000 vnd for massaging and also showering me hahah
You’re griping over $11, really?
Tipping is optional, and when I do tip, I usually give 18–20%. Or if it’s 350 VND, I’ll tip 100 VND.
