We are staying in a hotel over Tet (4* if that makes any difference) and we’re wanting to gift a small token of our appreciation to the staff we deal with who are working that day. Would $100,000 vnd each be acceptable or is that insulting?We are staying in a hotel over Tet (4* if that makes any difference) and we’re wanting to gift a small token of our appreciation to the staff we deal with who are working that day.

Sound nice! Make sure to put it in a red envelope 🧧 They will love it!
Yes 100k is totally fine! It’s not common for tourists to hand out red envelopes 🧧. Everybody who is telling you to give more should do it themselves. The fact that you are already planning to give to the whole staff means a lot!
The norm is 100,000 USD, not VND.
If you are giving to many staff members, 100,000 VND (abt USD 4) is ok. Lunch in VN for a local can be abt 50,000 to 80,000 VND (of course, it varies).
I think that would be great. It’s New Year the point of giving it is to wish them luck. She is being so kind and thoughtful
What a lovely gesture and I don’t understand the ones on here saying it should be more, most people wouldn’t think to give anything, well done 🙏
We bought our reception staff a plant each and they were ever so grateful
Anything is appreciated. I am Vietnamese . Thank you for your generosity;)
If you want to be extra nice, put them in red envelopes for good luck
Yes 👍. They will appreciate it.
