Returned from 5 days in Border Towns. Mixed feelings but mostly positive.

Accommodation:
Budget hotel near the main area. $26/night. Good location, basic amenities.

Scene:
Busy and well-organized. Prices were great value.

Quality:
Girls were friendly and attractive overall. Had 5 encounters total.

Logistics:
Public transport is good enough. Found great local restaurants.

Safety:
Stick to main areas at night and you are fine.

Overall: 8.5/10. Would definitely return.

Happy to answer any questions.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.
