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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

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

Good info. I'd add that the evening is the best time to go.
