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

Because the house takes 300,000..she gets 50,000…thats $2 and change USD….give the 300,000 and make it right
No it’s not
Normal scam
You were scammed
Coconut boats – ask per person! Nah, I tipped but not necessary for each person.
And please come on, don’t anybody bring North American culture into my country. We have no tipping culture for a long time, pls don’t ruin it for the locals.
You shouldn’t tip that much. It ruins the prices
The price is set for the locals who don’t earn like westerners therefore the “tip”. That said, demanding a tip is not normal.
We get massage in the mall opposite the airport in HCMC by Renate. It’s always good massage and nothing with extra tips…except if you want too. 😉
You got robbed
