Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls online?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Good info. I'd add that the evening is the best time to go.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
