Quick question for the Photo Gallery regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Long stay in Photo Gallery — costs

Did you use the local sites or find girls at online?

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
