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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Did you use dating apps or find girls at the hotel?

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.
