Visited General Information for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $119/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. 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 a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.
