Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.
