Answer
Tipping in Phuket isn't mandatory, but it's appreciated, especially in restaurants, where rounding up the bill or leaving a small amount is a nice gesture. Most places will indicate if a service charge is included in the bill.
• For taxi drivers and tour guides, rounding up or contributing a small percentage is common practice. If you have a particularly great experience, feel free to give a bit more.
• When it comes to spas or wellness services, it's also customary to tip around 10-15% of the total bill if you enjoyed the service.
