Other times they do really stupid things like buying a used scooter every time they need their scooter repaired because they fear it'll be reported to the government as they don't have the proper licensing. Other times I see some expats doing some really really stupid things like getting a dog to give to somebody and then asking what to do about it when it turns out they're gifted can't take the dog and if they should bring it to a kill shelter when there are so many options to not do that. There's a penchant for expats to overly exaggerate the problems they deal with and then do silly things like compare a major cities income in another country with that of all of Taiwan, while almost never comparing that with Taipei itself because doing the latter would mean they would not have a point.Īnd so, yeah sometimes somebody has to come in and go like yeah I'm sorry but you're wrong about that and you're misinforming people. It really makes me question if they've ever even booked a hotel in Taiwan, ever. I've already demonstrated that the data is really clear, even though there are different accounting methods, looking at all of them, even official statistics or simple site like clearly shows that the average hotel price is in Taiwan is not higher than that of places like the United kingdom, USA, australia, singapore, Hong kong. There's a difference between whining and dealing with facts. I comment on a lot of things relating to Taiwan, and people don't really like facts, just like in NBA they were saying that Taiwanese use Hanyu Pinyin to romanize their names, which is hilariously wrong. Do we have a problem with actual facts and data? The guy literally misread an article and then went to town with a lot of fake ideas. Okay, I'm just going to go on a rant here. #1 priority is soft beds and pillows of course! Some hotels are infested with mosquitoes.Īfter living here for 3.5 years I know all the best places to stay for the least money. Mold is rampant in almost all Taiwanese hotel bathrooms. Nearly every hotel in Taiwan has terrible plumbing and electrical work, they leave ugly square holes around where pipes go through walls and lots of badly wired, exposed 110v or 220v stuff in wet areas. I find very little correlation between hotel price and quality. Last weekend, I stayed in the Dajenshan hotel in kenting on Saturday night for only 700 ntd. Taichung gets absurdly expensive on Saturdays for some reason, while Kaohsiung usually does not.Īs such I find it's cheaper to take the bullet train from Taichung to kaohsiung and stay in south Taiwan every single weekend. I have been living in hotels every day for 2 years now, and I spend around 750 ntd each night on average. likes to elevate the hotel stars for some reason. There's also a huge discrepancy between the quality of 1 star hotels in Taiwan versus 2 star hotels and then a huge leap to 3-4 star hotels. This post was in response to someone insisting that it was $140 and then proceeding to make up a lot of made up conjecture fabricated out of thin air. No, Taiwan does not have one of the world's most expensive in average hotel rates, more expensive than the UK, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and so on. The first line below that and the source from the Tourism Bureau explicitly mentions international luxury hotels. If you read only the headline, you're being misinformed. International hotels in Taiwan ( think the luxury 4 star hotels with international names like Marriott or The Grand Hyatt) average $138 (NT4,195). This would not be surprising given rising costs in Taiwan. New! Tourism Bureau calculates differently and says that the average is about $80 based on the latest data but does not provide a median. Thanks to /u/ShrimpCrackers for the sub design!Īnalysis of over 1400 hotels in Taiwan shows the median is $58 and the average is $67. r/ohtaigi - Taiwanese Hokkien Learning City/County Subs We follow the 10:1 self-promotion policy.Įvents: Conferences, concerts, & other events are accepted. :)ġ13 - Children and Women Protection Hotline We can give advice, but you should check with officials.
