Tawau
Just sharing some of my experiences on a trip to Tawau - Semporna for a diving trip.
Wechat scan does not give results in Semporna or Tawau. Unfortunately I do not have any contacts in Semporna, even taxi/grab drivers have no idea so it was a bust as I am sure there are chances, just need to find the right person.
On the way back I stayed in Tawau, Shervington Hotel which is better and is opposite Prince Hotel. This hotel is strategic as lots of convenience stores, banks and good seafood restaurant (Good View) within walking distance less than 300m. The main reason is that nearly everyone I asked says Prince Hotel is the point for entertainment. Actually the place is Mabuhay Spa which is located behind Prince Hotel and there is a stairs you can take up there. Scouted out the place it is a MP place and extra service provided. Can even outcall to my hotel if needed. About 70+ for 1 hour massage.
Scouted Sabindo Plaza as there was info there are street walkers there. Dead place.
Taxi driver took me to place not far from Sabindo where there are really streetwalkers, but the place looks very seedy and dangerous so gave up.
In the end gave up and went up to the spa located in my hotel. Saw the rooms there were a bit shabby and they said could send the girl to my room. The girls provided were all Thai. Rates is about 70+ per hour and any extra to nego with girl. I took 3 hours for RM200 as the girl I had was very pleasant to talk to. Found out I can book out the girl for 360 from 12 noon till midnight. Since I had a day before my flight, decided to book her as a rental gf for a day. However be warned not much shopping in Tawau and the only entertainment is the cinema in Eastern Plaza. Grab is available in Tawau and Semporna so transportation is convenient. Hope this helps if you travel thru here.
