Not sure how many clones are there, personally I feel those hotel massage prices have not increased a lot over the years for non-VIP. Maybe 100-300k more based on the DIY guide. Same with BJ hot toc, maybe 100-200k more. The increase is the FJ joints (almost doubled), but can always choose not to go
I don't visit the KTV or clubs, so can't compare. In general, I think it's more expensive based on reports. Nowadays if you just try google, these's option of website freelance that ask for 300k-1m + hotel.
Those more out of way local joints don't really apply to people like me on short trip. The taxi fare likely cost more than the service, also the time to get there for a release lol
Imagine go phu nhuan KTV and back to Q1/Q5
Even ask me go phu lam, I also complain far lol Time is more precious for those on short trip
A lot of information can be found on the net that's enough to make those on holiday have enough fun without being ripped off too much. A couple weeks back I pm H88 to ask if he knows about a street name (turns out to be a place) and MIFAcafe if he knows the bia om on xxx street still operating. Both replied with don't know (I do appreciate the replies. Thanks again). But in the end, after google around I was managed to find my answers
Language is a problem, but if you can find those joints posted on net, likely they are used to having foreigners or expat. At that's what I think lol
