Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in last month and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
