Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Did you feel safe using taxis?

How long did it take you to feel comfortable?

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

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

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