Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at the hotel?

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
