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?

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

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.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

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: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

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