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

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

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

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

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

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

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