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

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 girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.
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.

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