How should I approach tipping when dining at food markets in Phuket?

Tipping at food markets in Phuket is generally not expected. These spots often have set prices, and the service is quick and casual.

• That said, if you really enjoyed your meal or felt the vendor went above and beyond, it's perfectly okay to leave a small tip, maybe rounding up to the nearest ten baht or leaving a 10-20 baht note.

• Vendors at these markets often rely on high volume, so your return business and positive word-of-mouth are also appreciated!

Opening days, menus and prices change. Check recent information, confirm dietary needs directly and judge cleanliness, food turnover and storage rather than relying only on a high online rating.
