Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

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

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

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

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

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

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

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

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
