Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

Did you feel safe in the red light areas?

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

How long did it take you to feel comfortable?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

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

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.
