I have found the best place to buy them is in Saigon. A piece like this of this size would probably cost you around $50 maybe less. I bought a 10"X16" oil of an oddly kinky Tin Tin scene for $10. Some are of stunning quality and all genres are reproduced. Though I don't think I saw my favorite, hula girls on black velvet :P I bought a small 11' X 8' black velvet in Thailand this trip for $5, but it was of an Indochina scene, so not really tiki. I was hoping to see more in the P.I. when I returned the second time, but did not or I would have had a bunch of tiki/hula girl scenes made up. Phnom Penh also has a lot of oils available, but most are of Angkor Wat scenes, (I bought a 18"X24" of Bayon for $10) though there was some nice semi nude Khmer water girl pieces. :o :D
