Has anyone been to Border Towns 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 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
