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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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

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

This matches my experience. Thailand is a solid destination.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls through referrals?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

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

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.
