I guess, such people should just stay or visit US/Europe. Nobody is forcing them to go to Asia anyways.

Well traveled and open minded people always know - What you pay is what you get!
Nothing is free in this world - if you want to be treated special, then you gotta pay for it!
While this might be mostly true, I don't see why you quoted my post before that. Unless you consider renting an ordinary car "a first world service" worth $80 per day. The same about buying a coconut from a stall in the local market, apparently that's "being treated special" for a mere $10...
