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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

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

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls through referrals?
