Oppa Yokosi,
I am well and hope you are doing great!
Thanks for the valuable updates and insights.
Personally I also feel travelling to Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam now to cheong will be a futile attempt.
Cheong places are either dead or not full strength.
Until full unrestricted travel like pre-Covid era is allowed I don't see these places will recover if any.
Looks like now JB (for duty free drinking only 555) and KL are the most value punt with reasonable strength.
Haha really miss ACE and those interesting characters.
Tiagong "Korean superstar" is still desirable in Asia.
PS: Ah Pa status means book/spend money on puyings is not for bonking but for talking and companionship only 555.
