Tipping standards in Bali: Avoid very small denominations (2k-5k IDR). Standard tips in restaurants are appreciated at 10-20k+ IDR, even if a service charge is included. For hotel staff (cleaning teams), 20k+ IDR is a more appropriate gesture than nominal amounts.

Tipping culture in Bali is evolving. While not always mandatory, it is appreciated for good service. For traffic violations, a local 'settlement' might be possible, but it's safer to adhere to all traffic laws. Be aware of potential risks beyond police interactions, such as traffic accidents.

Tipping is not mandatory in Bali but is appreciated for good service. Tipping is generally not percentage-based. Common amounts range from 20,000 IDR to 100,000 IDR. For smaller services or bills around 200,000-300,000 IDR, 20,000-50,000 IDR is common. For larger bills (e.g., over 1,000,000 IDR) or exceptional service, 100,000 IDR is a generous tip. Confusion with the large number of zeros in Indonesian Rupiah is common, so confirming the amount is advisable (e.g., 50,000 IDR is approximately 3 USD).
