Transport was easy — Uber/Grab works well. Food was cheap and delicious.

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

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

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