Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
