Has anyone been to Tips & Advice recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?
