I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at clubs?

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

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

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $90/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

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