We & they lol wtf are the likes of these guys
Get Dong local money they don’t want or used foreign money tips is not used you have ATM everywhere including at airports and exchange counter
Vietnamese people like gold
Getting a big bag of those mini chocolate bars goes a long way too
Large usd billd in red envelopes. My VN girlfriend plans to bring cash to the US to give to my family members when she meets them. I explained it wasn’t necessary but she says it’s tradition.
I leave 20K a day for the maids.
Cash is King in Vietnam too. We tipped in Dong.
$2 dollar bills they like cause its lucky and vietnamese like it. $5 bills but brand new is a super nice tip.
Money and in local currency not usd as with those small amounts not only do they have to go out of their way to exchange it at a currency exchange place but they get a terrible rate
Tipping is not part of Vietnam’s culture and tipping only builds demands and expectations to get tips from tourists only. Tipping can lead to reduced pay by certain employers. Please keep North American culture where is belongs
