Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/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.

How long did it take you to feel comfortable?

How's the daytime scene there compared to Thailand?

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