Has anyone been to General Discussion recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
The golden age — was it really better before?

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
