阅读下面短文,然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

  The porter brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains all you want to know.Then he points to the phone and says:“If there's anything else you need, just call.”All this time you have been thinking one thing:“How much should I tip(付小费)him?”To make your next trip a little easier, here's a guide to tipping across some Asian countries.

  Bangkok

  In general, the more Westernized the place is, the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip.Some top-end restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill.If not, waiters will appreciate you tacking on(附加)the 10% yourself.However, if you're eating at lower-end(低档的)restaurant a tip is not necessary.If you're staying at one of Bangkok's many five-star hotels, expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht, depending on how many bags you have.Taxis are now metered in Bangkok.Local custom is to round the fare(车费)up to the nearest five baht.

  Tipping is customary in this money-mad metropolis(大都市).Most restaurants add a 10% service charge to the hill, but the extra money often ends up in the pocket of the owner.If the service is good, add another 10% to the bill, up to UK 100 in an especially nice restaurant.For HK 10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotel where a new HK 20 bill may be more acceptable.When in a taxi, round up(凑整数)to the nearest dollar.

  Kuala Lumpur

  Tipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel room.If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service charge.But at local restaurants, there's no need to add a tip.At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will content a porter.At lower end buildings you don't have to tip.Like Bangkok, many taxis are now metered(打表)so you can just round up to the nearest ring it.

  Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10% service charge is often added.If you're at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处), there's no need to add anything extra.But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution.If you're at a top-end hotel, so expect to pay 500-1000 won per bag.Taxi drivers don't accept a tip.Keep the change for yourself.
