What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

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

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.
