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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.
