Been thinking about visiting Hong Kong & Macau 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.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

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

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?
