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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

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

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

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.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls at clubs?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

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