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

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

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

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

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

I was there in January 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: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

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

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

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