Great report! Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

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: Prices have gone up about 20%.

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

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

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

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/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 was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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