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

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

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

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls through referrals?

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

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

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

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

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

How's the daytime scene there compared to Thailand?

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

This matches my experience. Thailand is great value for money.
