Tipping at massage parlors in Ho Chi Minh City
It seems many are either confused or pretend to be ignorant about the tipping "etiquette" in Ho City. The girls make no money from the house fee. The tip money is the only source of income they have. So, Here are the basics:
$200,000 VND is the bare minimum. The girls won't be jumping up and down with joy, but they will be ok with it. Most locals tip this amount. I myself tip this amount when the service is mediocre.
$300,000 VND is the average tip amount here. The girls will be happy with it. I recommend this amount if you want a good relationship with the girls you like. Next time you come, they treat you nicer (they remember the generous tippers).
$400,000-$500,000 VND is tip for excellent service and the girl is fucking hot!
I hope this helps! Please tip the girls. I actually saw expats who didn't tip or tipped $20,000 VND. Fucking shameful!
