Been thinking about visiting Photo Gallery and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Thailand?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

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

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

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $147/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.
