Tipping
In general, waitstaff in small, cheap cafes don't expect much in the way of tips, but those in expensive resorts certainly do. Workers in the tourism and hospitality industries often depend on tips to supplement meagre wages. In tourist hotspots, tipping is up to US levels of 15%; elsewhere, 10% is standard. If you stay a few days in one place, you should leave up to 10% of your room costs for housekeeping staff.
A porter in a mid-range hotel will be happy with US$1.00 a bag. Taxi drivers don't generally expect tips unless they go out of their way for you. Gas station attendants and car park attendants don't expect tips but appreciate them if offered ( US$0.25 - US$0.50 ).
