I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. 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 an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

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

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