Quick question for the Malaysia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $130/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.
