Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

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

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls through referrals?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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