Visited West Coast for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $137/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.
Is West Coast worth visiting?

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $68/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

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

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