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

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

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

Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. 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 an agency I found online.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were higher.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

How's the daytime scene there compared to Thailand?

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

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

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