Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

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

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

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

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

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

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

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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