Been thinking about visiting Photo Gallery and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to the Philippines?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

This is outdated info IMO.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