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

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

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls through referrals?

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

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.

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

I was there in January 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 varied.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

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