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

Tip is match with the service. So yes it is normal. You dont tip then youre cheap
Vietnam is a non tipping country and it’s optional and it’s your good gesture to give a tip if you find the service excellent. As for demanding for it, it’s not acceptable and you can take it to the manager to justify.
Great deal on the massage. That is like $12 USD for the tip. The entire massage with tip is super cheap!!!
Not normal, but they probably tried to take advantage of you thinking your a tourist with money to blow.
300k/each are too much. Only tip them 100k
Heather Cameron you compare the đồng with Dollars and call others cheap???they cheap for complaining about the demand tip ?Tip is optional!!
there was no menu with prices? tip 20 to 30% max
Same in Hanoi !!! nowhere else in Vietnam.” I went south to north in 37 days ! I know what im talking about . I had massage in so many town !!
It’s VN, gi to Thailand next time. Reasonable & honest.
