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

Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.

How's the nightlife there compared to Thailand?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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 the outskirts to be better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.
