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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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

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