Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls online?

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

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

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

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

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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

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