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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

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: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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

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

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 excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls through referrals?
