What you call their 'guides' are actually tour leaders.
All Korean groups pay for and have a local guide as well.
Lots of Western groups do the same thing. I know at least two in REP who ask for and get up to 200USD per day!
Some groups even bring their own tour leader along from Europe, sometimes university professors specialising in Angkor.
But they're tour leaders...
Jeez, what's so difficult to understand about that?
I'm not arguing about Korean tour groups in general or what they pay or where their money goes. We're talking about the difference between a tour guide and a tour leader and for some it seems too difficult to make that distinction.
