With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were higher.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

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

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

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.
