100% agree. The variety there is hard to beat.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

How long did it take you to learn the routine?

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

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

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

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 $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.

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

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