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

I was there in January 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 good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.
