Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Do your research, respect the locals, stay safe. — Northern Lights

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?
