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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

This matches my experience. Thailand is one of my favorites.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

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. One of my top 3 worldwide.

How long did it take you to learn the routine?
