100% agree. The value there is hard to beat.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

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

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

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 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?

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

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