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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

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: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

How long did it take you to learn the routine?

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

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. 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 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 pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.
