Answer

Tipping tour guides is customary in Phuket, especially if they provided a great experience.

• A tip of around 100-200 baht per person is a good guideline, but feel free to adjust based on your satisfaction.

• If your guide went above and beyond, like sharing extra local insights or ensuring your comfort, a more generous tip would certainly be appreciated.

Check current rules, contracts and professional credentials directly. Online recommendations are a starting point, not a substitute for legal, medical, financial or regulatory advice.

Prices, schedules, access rules and operating hours can change, so confirm the current details with the provider or relevant authority before travelling.
