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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

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

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at clubs?

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 an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.
