Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.
