Quality declining in Chiang Mai? My observations

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/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: Late night you get the best deals.

Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.

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

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

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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