I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.
