This matches my experience. Malaysia is great value for money.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

How's the daytime scene there compared to Colombia?
