Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.
