Been thinking about visiting Scandinavia and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Thailand?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
