Great report! Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
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. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.
