Returned from 7 days in WAG Radio Discussion. Exceeded expectations.
Accommodation:
Guesthouse near the main area. $47/night. Clean and central.
Scene:
Better than expected — plenty of options. Prices were in line with forum reports.
Quality:
Better selection than last time. Had 5 encounters total.
Logistics:
Taxis are cheap but negotiate first. Eating out was very affordable.
Safety:
No issues at all.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid choice, will be back.
Happy to answer any questions.

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.
