A good agent is someone who can bring us to "good" places yet DO NOT pay a single cts more than their regular customers yet we enjoy a treatment of VIP.

In fact, in DS we dont need any agent lah...... Hotel can be booked thru ctrip... ktv phone number can be find out easily thru the hotel, sauna is everywhere at competitive prices..... Moreover DS is so small.....hehe..

In this day and age, bad agents can be easily exposed and will no doubt affect their businesses. And bros are also a lot more informed and they can make their own judgement. Obviously, Agents have to make their money somehow – the question being how and whether it is reasonable. At the end of the day, different strokes for different folks – the bottom line is whether we get a good bonk.
The above were taken from the Huizhou Recommendations thread. With the increasing number of agents, I believe it is appropriate to start a thread to allow us share info about the agents/guides, as well as other SPs such as mummies, OKTs, private taxi drivers and whoever that could help make a difference to the cheonging experience in China. It will be especially useful for newbies traveling to a specific area for the first time.

Until about a year or so ago, most of the well-known agents that operate in the Pearl River Delta areas to help the cheongsters are Taiwanese. But now, we are seeing an increasing number of Singaporeans and Malaysians. In fact, the Malaysians are arriving in bus loads, with specially organized sex tours led by dedicated tour guides or agents that make very handsome profit through deals with hotels, ktvs, mummies, okts. I heard some even indulge in illicit substances that provide even higher profit margin – these are bad ones that should be exposed if such claims are really true.

I hope to see both good and bad comments. Such comments will motivate the agents & SPs to do better – as long as comments are objective and constructive to allow bros here to make their own judgments. No doubt, there will be clones who will write good or bad things about specific agent (as happened in the sites for hotel reviews) but I believe the truth will always prevail.
