Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

How's the nightlife there compared to the Philippines?

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.
