I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/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: Go early in the evening for first pick.

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
