Got to know it from a youtube channel call superpie

These taiwanese group tour is not new...pre-Covid already existed...those taiwanese organised tour from Taiwan and then hired local Viet translator acting as guide...the Viet guide hired by the travel agency...after the offical day trip over and if some taiwanese wanted to go ktv and find gals...then the Viet guide will bring but all these are extra charges...meaning the guide will tell the taiwanese how much the guide charge for extra hours...also the driver will charge extra...if they dun need the bus transport then guide will call taxi...

All these activities in the video actually nothing special...in 2010 to 2012 a Singaporean bro already orgainised that...I don't want to go into the detail but you can read HCM - Thread 2 which is still available...

I am not too sure if Singaporean keen to organise such tour...from my experience, the Singapore complain too much and not willing to spend...not much a group or team players...

These taiwanese really spend money becos they come as group and they have channels to advertise in Taiwan...unlike Singapore...most come over for short business trip trying to find quick release...

I do agree compare to the spending power with Taiwanese & China Chinese, we are far behind to it. Have seen them change thousand of bahts or 500k VND & just throw on the stage when am there..

simple logic...koreans were mostly expats and ktv is charged to company...when dun charge to company then they dun go...

besides spending power...the taiwanese are similar to Koreans and Japaneses...when they have biz ...they will only let their own nationalities handle...somehow very tight knitted communities..

no chance for others to have a bite...so they played together...

Singaporeans do not have this culture...not that the sinkees cannot spend money...but unwilling to spend when in groups...they only tried and kept quiet after kena scammed lots of money...

I would like to share my own small MR of my trip in VN. I stayed in D1 and near the Ben Thành market. I was walking around for a few days and finally found a location that has gq after being brought up to level 2. I felt that I managed to have an authentic experience because the syt that serviced me can only speak 1 or 2 words of Chinese and 0 English other than the MMS. also, because I went early, the MMS was being called down (in pyjamas) by the guy in uniform standing outside. the MMS spoke English and I was assigned to ML. not for boob lover and although they take their time to do everything, they don't short change you (I checked my time when I ended) and was offered shower (together) I think, but not sure as I didn't take up the offer (rushing for flight) . total dmg 1 mil vnd. the place look run down and had purple lights interior,can say its like going back in time 30 yrs ago. if the massage quality mattered to you, I can only say its better than average. they provided hot stone even when I never asked for me. overall, I felt like I got a good bargain. would definitely visit again if I ever come back VN. I never picked ML cause my language ski is zero, but the lady who serviced me was almost flat chested. imagine a cup still got stuff padding. how I managed to find was I saw the keyword 'VIP room' on the signboard at the street. my chionging exp told me this should be it. yeap. true story lol

Actually not true, maybe you met those low-standard one. Not all Taiwanese/koreans have high spending power. But on average i think sg spending power also not bad one(cant compared to china). I met up with some SG bros for viet ktvs. Most of them quite ok even offered to pay the bill first then split after that. Except once last week kenna got pangseh last minute . I believe there's still some with very strong spending power and want explore more fun. I have seen many high-ballers sg bros went to vietnam to be emperor around 40-50% of the price compared to SG. And furthermore Vietnam's quality is much higher and cheaper(1-1.5mil vnd they follow you whole night) than SG(all imported). So why not? It's just that we dont have a properly channel to organise these groups, even mid-income bros can try these experience too
