Great report! Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

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

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

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

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/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: Late night you get the best deals.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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