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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at clubs?

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

I was there in February 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 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

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

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

Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
