Visited Border Towns for 5 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.

Spent $119/day. Best part: GFE quality.

Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.

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

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

Adding my experience from February.

The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Did you use an agency or find girls at online?

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

Quick question — how was the wifi?

I was there in January and prices were great value.

Spent about $113/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: avoid weekends.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.
