Cultural notes
Grocery delivery via GrabMart, LineMan Mart, Happy Fresh, and Tops Online uses the same gig-rider model as food delivery, and the same in-app tipping conventions apply. ฿20–50 is generous, especially given the heavier loads (cases of water, bulk produce) and the longer in-store shopping waits for the rider. Round-up cash on delivery is the most common Thai approach.
Frequently asked questions
Heavier order = bigger tip?
Yes — ฿50 for a 30-kg grocery run including stairs is reasonable.
