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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes 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.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.
