Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

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

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

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

How long did it take you to feel comfortable?

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

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

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

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 excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

Did you feel safe using taxis?

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

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