Current pricing for General Information:
Short Time: Budget $22-89, Mid $79-172, Premium $199+
Long Time/Overnight: $110-432
Massage with extras: $22-150
These are approximate ranges as of early 2026. Prices vary by area, provider quality, and negotiation. Tourist areas tend to be more expensive.
Tipping is not part of the culture here.
Best value: local areas away from tourist strips.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

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

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

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
