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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

100% agree. The atmosphere there is hard to beat.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.
