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

Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

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

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

Did you feel safe in the red light areas?

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

How long did it take you to feel comfortable?

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

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.
