Did you feel safe in the red light areas?

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

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: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?

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

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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