Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at bars?

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

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

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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