Cultural notes
Tipping the concierge is reserved for clearly above-and-beyond service — securing a same-day reservation at Le Du, arranging a last-minute private long-tail boat in Phang Nga, sorting a missed-flight rebooking. ฿100–200 in cash is standard at 4- and 5-star Bangkok hotels; ฿500 for genuinely extraordinary efforts. Small day-to-day requests (booking a Grab, recommending dinner) need no tip — that is the role.
Common mistakes
Tipping upfront when making the request — can read as a bribe. Tip after delivery.
Frequently asked questions
฿200 too small?
It is fine for most concierge "wins" in Bangkok.
Is a Western-style envelope expected?
Discreet hand-off in a folded ฿100/500 note is fine.
