Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

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: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/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.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. 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 a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.
