Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.
