Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?

Great report! Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
