Has anyone been to Photo Gallery recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

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

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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

Did you use freelancers or find girls at online?
