Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/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: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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