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

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
