Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

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: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.
