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

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

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

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