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

Good info. I'd add that the late night is the best time to go.

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

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.
