I was there in February 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 excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls through referrals?

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
