Tipping is not expected in Vietnam, but it is enormously appreciated. For a person who earns US$50 per month, a US$1 tip is ahoul half a day's wages. Upmarket hotels and some restaurants may levy a 5% service charge, but this may not make it to the staff. 11 you slay a couple of days in tlie same hotel, try and remember to tip the staff who clean your room.
