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
- Transport tips
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

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

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?
