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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.

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

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

How long did it take you to feel comfortable?

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