Has anyone been to Photo Gallery recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
