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

Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls online?

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

I was there in January 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 good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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