Great report! Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls through referrals?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

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

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.
