Quick question for the Hong Kong & Macau regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?

I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.

Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?

Cheers

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

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 slightly higher.

Spent about $64/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: avoid weekends.

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

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything checks out.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

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

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

I was there in February and prices were great value.

Spent about $55/day all-in. Quality was above average.

My tip: midweek is golden hour.
