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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

How's the food there compared to Thailand?

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.
