Safety update for Safety & Police based on recent experience and community reports:

General Safety Level: Higher risk than average — stay vigilant.

Common Risks:
- Taxi overcharging — always use app-based rides
- Phone snatching — keep it in your front pocket
- Bait and switch — verify photos before paying

Areas to Avoid:
Tourist areas are generally safe but stay alert.

Police Situation:
Corruption exists but tourists rarely targeted.

Stay safe out there.

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.
