Quick question for the Taiwan regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $146/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience there last month.

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 going midweek next time.

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