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.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

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

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

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

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

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

Adding my experience from last month.

The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
