20 18 Do I have to tip when traveling to Vietnam?

It often happens that Vietnamese customs deliberately make things difficult for China tourists and ask China tourists for tips. Some reports have also disclosed this situation. So what is the real situation? 20 18 will Vietnamese customs still ask for tips?

In 2065438+2008, the Vietnamese Customs is basically free of tipping, and some people will have this hint.

Anyway, I didn't encounter tipping at China airport. Maybe the national conditions are different! At China Airport, it seems logical that all customs staff serve tourists. Many people will say: this is their job. Must I pay them another salary? In fact, I really disagree with this. Assistance done outside the scope of duties is originally a kind of free assistance.

Johor Bahru Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is the largest airport in Vietnam. Although it is the largest airport in Vietnam, the route is actually connected to several neighboring countries. If you want to go further, you need to transfer to neighboring countries. But here, you can see China people everywhere. Most of these China tourists come from Yunnan or Guangxi. You know, China people like to travel abroad with big bags and small bags, and then go through the security check at the airport customs before leaving the country. This is very important.

However, due to improper deployment of some Vietnamese customs officers, Vietnamese customs officers will help tourists pack their luggage. Originally, it was normal for customs to help sort luggage, but it was not free at Johor Bahru Airport in Vietnam. Vietnamese Customs classifies luggage and sends it to tourists in China. China tourists expressed their gratitude, but they didn't expect to receive a tip of 100 RMB.

A tourist from China posted on the Internet that the customs had his own departure form in his hand, and then kept repeating the "tip" and "tip" about luggage sorting. At that time, the China tourist was still in a hurry to go home, considering that he didn't commit anything, and he had an ID card, passport and visa. After a little thought, he pretended not to understand the requirements of the customs, and then asked you in English what I didn't understand. Finally, he really didn't.

In fact, it is very common for Southeast Asian countries to accept tips. After all, there is no free service in the world. In Thailand, if you want to report to a local travel agency and ask someone for directions casually, people have to accept your tip. After all, no one wants to help in vain. Here, the old driver reminds everyone that tipping is a normal thing, don't suffer. After all, no one wants to work for us for nothing except parents.

Moreover, there is a large flow of people here at the airport, and many people are in a hurry. Therefore, in the face of the requirement of tipping, they are all given in a hurry, which has formed a bad habit for these customs. On the other hand, in fact, many times, some people's help is not worth so much tipping. In certain places, we still have to keep calm thinking. If someone forcibly takes a tip, don't panic, just stay with him! Let him know that we are stubborn, and it is estimated that no one dares to accept tips.

Real case:

I experienced it myself last year. A few months before I went there, I happened to see a news that a China man was beaten up by Vietnamese customs for not tipping and forced his mother to read it. At that time, I thought that this incident had been exposed, and the southern part of Vietnam should be restrained or China should introduce some policies to change this situation, and then he went with her husband, traveling independently without signing up.

When we arrived in Vietnam to queue up for customs clearance, a staff member wandered around us and kept saying that the tip was 20. At first, I didn't understand. An enthusiastic girl next to me said that she would prepare a tip of 20. Their guide told them before, but they reluctantly prepared. My husband only had 30 yuan change and gave me 20. I went there first and waited for him on the other side, only to find him staying at the customs. Because he only has 10 yuan, the staff asked him to give him 20 yuan, but my husband didn't. He just asked him to take off my husband's coat for him, because we just flew in from China and were still wearing down jackets. That coat is my birthday present to him, which is worth 2000 yuan. My husband pretended not to understand, so he spent it with him. It's really annoying that he doesn't give it.

This is the scene when I went, and it will be even more irritating when I come back. When I went there, I was surrounded by China people, but when I came back, it was different. People from all countries have to go through the customs, and the two of us slowly stand in a long queue. At this time, a staff member of the customs came over and pointed to the two of us to let us go out to the other side, and then asked us to prepare a tip of 20 each. I asked him in English why other foreigners didn't have to give it. Gave me a hard look and spoke Vietnamese.

I am really angry, but what can I do? Didn't I give it to you? He can find any reason to investigate you, miss the plane, and even lock you in the cabin and beat you up.

If you are not fluent in language, you can't beat others Just like the China people who were beaten before, it didn't arouse any effect. Our government issued a document calling on Chinese people not to tip, but what can I do if this really happens?

My daughter was forced to spend money when she went through Vietnamese customs last year, but she refused. Locked in a dark room, she was slapped twice. My daughter called the embassy, and the embassy in China said she wanted a live video. She went to the video when she was beaten. Besides, those Vietnamese people have to look at your mobile phone when they hit someone. If there is a video that is bad for him, you will force it to be deleted. When my daughter saw those Europeans and Americans with yellow hair passing through the Vietnamese customs, the Vietnamese respectfully paid them no tips.
