Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls through referrals?

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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 excellent.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.
