How long did it take you to learn the routine?

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. 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 a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls online?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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