Answer

Tipping at street food stalls is not a common practice, as prices are already quite low and the service is usually quick and casual.

• However, if you really enjoyed your meal or the vendor provided excellent service, rounding up the bill or leaving a small 10-20 baht tip can be a nice gesture. It's always appreciated!

• Keep in mind that street food vendors rely more on the volume of customers than tips, so your support in other ways, like spreading the word or coming back, is also valuable.

Opening days, menus and prices change, especially in quieter months. Check recent information, confirm dietary requirements directly and use busy, well-kept stalls or restaurants where food is cooked and stored properly.
