Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at clubs?

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

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

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