I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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