Just returned from 11 days in Photo Gallery. Great trip overall.

Stayed near the main area, hotel was about $74/night. Clean and close to everything.

The scene is busy. Prices ranged from very affordable compared to my last visit.

Girls were plentiful. I had 10 encounters over the trip.

Food was cheap and delicious. Ate for under $10/day easily.

Will definitely be back. Happy to answer questions.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $100/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.

Spent about $92/day all-in. Quality was good.

My tip: the late night crowd is different.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.
