Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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