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

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 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.
