Bosses keep the girls' passports. Money is split 50/50 between the girl and boss. They get regular hospital checkups for all kinds of STDs every few weeks. Customers are a mix of Bangla workers, ethnic Chinese, and occasionally Filipinos. Girls report that they get treated well, not abused at all. Most common complaints are boredom and slow business. Still, they have quotas to meet and get kicked back to Thailand if they don't meet minimal income requirements. Girls generally stay for several months up to over a year.

Many girls like to drink with each other at restaurants and karaokes during their off hours. Bosses try to prevent that from going out of control by making sure that the girls aren't gone too long. Oftentimes the bosses will give the girls a ride.

Girls keep rotating, and they come in via word of mouth and introduction by friends.

Girls' income is about the same as that a Singaporean Grab or taxi driver, not over a few thousand SGD per month. That's a lot of money in Thailand or Vietnam, but is not considered a lot in S'pore of course.

It's a business and bosses sometimes report that revenues are low, and they need dozens of customers everyday to pay the bills. Things are slow after COVID, so it's not easy.

Viet girls are mostly from the Mekong Delta area.

Thai girls are often hill tribe girls from the north, and they often tell customers that they are Thai-Chinese since Thai hill tribes originated from Yunnan. Some Isan girls too.
