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

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

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

How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

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