While on R&R from the "land of bad things" (Vietnam) the fee for provider in Taiwan was $9.00 for 24 hours or $45 for the extent of your 5 day R&R. Anybody been there lately? I'm curious as to the current fees are. Maybe I should reenlist, lmao.

Don't know about Taiwan but for Thailand 24 hours can be had for about 1500B or roughly $30, an entire week ran about $100-$150 the last time I did it (6 years ago).  Of course those are rates outside of the Patpong/Soi Nana area and depend on the season.  Just for your imagination,  I once went to bed with three providers and woke up with five - ah to be young, dumb and full of -well you know.
