Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at bars?

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.
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 shifted a bit recently.

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

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 $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

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