I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
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?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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

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.
