Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

How's the nightlife there compared to Thailand?

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

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/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: Late night you get the best deals.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.
