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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

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

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

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

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

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

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.
