Just returned from 8 days in General Information. Great trip overall.
Stayed near the main area, hotel was about $47/night. Clean and close to everything.
The scene is decent. Prices ranged from very affordable compared to my last visit.
Girls were generally good looking. I had 5 encounters over the trip.
Food was cheap and delicious. Street food was the highlight.
Will definitely be back. Happy to answer questions.
General Information — just got back, quick review

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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

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

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $125/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
