Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/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: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

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